Bit OT, but... has anyone ever been saved by a rocket-removes-capsule
escape option?
Yes, a Soyuz (T model). The launcher caught fire and the fire engulfed
the stack before the escape rocket fired (a zero-zero abort, literally
under fire). The two man crew (commander was Vladimir Titov, don't
recall the other) were pulled free in their Soyuz descent module and
landed several kilometers away.
