It is not surprising at all. Mission Control was forged in the fire (literally for Apollo 1) and they are one of the most visible "incident team" we know about.

I highly advise to read Gene Kranz memoirs "Failure is not an Option" if you work in that kind of environment.

I heard recently that he never said that.

Apparently it was mentioned when the Apollo 13 script writers were gathering stories at NASA, they liked it, and then gave it to the Kranz character.

Who then decided, "Hey, if everyone thinks I said it..." and titled his memoir.

Yep exactly.
