||1942: Bereznyak-Isayev BI-1 was a Soviet short-range rocket powered interceptor developed during the Second World War: the engine exploded during a full system test. The nozzle section was blasted into the lake, and the engine head struck the back of the pilot's seat, knocking Bakhchivandzhi against the instrument panel and injuring him slightly. Pressurized nitric acid from a broken propellant line drenched Pallo. Fortunately, quick thinking mechanics dunked him head-first into a tank of soda solution. His face was yellow from the characteristic acid staining, but his glasses saved him from being blinded. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bereznyak-Isayev_BI-1 Pic.
