Henry, Bill,
I think someone was saying an Atlas event in 1959 was the last US pad
explosion during fueling. Though there was also the SIVB-503 test stand
event that also let go during fueling in ~1962, but that wasn't with an
operational vehicle with a payload on top.

The Atlas bulkhead-reversal accidents are the only ones that come to mind,
and the last of those was a long time ago, probably in the 60s.
