Where's the page for stirring the tanks?
I wonder if they thought the same, isn't it page 4 displayed, mentions "H2 tanks off" so they had to be on to be turned off. Somewhere between the two it blew? Written on the right something about number 2 tank 'something' failed too...after 'something'...stirring.FourWheelDrift said:

Because of that pressure gauge failure, mission control requested the crew stir the tanks more often, as that was part of a work-around for judging how much oxygen was in the tanks. If they had kept to the original stirring schedule, the explosion might have occurred at a point where the LM wouldn't have been available for use as a 'lifeboat'.
