There were 75 survivors, nearly all injured. The crash landing in the swampland is thought to have been a mixed blessing. The mud may have stopped some wounds from bleeding out, but there would also be lots of really nasty microbes entering the bloodstream through the wounds.

This is less about Apollo astronauts than the heroism of one witness, an airboat pilot who despite injuries from the spilled jet fuel, nevertheless participated in the recovery effort that night and all the following day. I'm sure Frank would have agreed that such heroism is worthy of mention.
