Apollo 13 launched from the Cape Kennedy space center on April 11, 1970, at 2:13 PM EST, headed for the Frau Mora highlands on the Moon. During launch, dangerous vibrations caused by instabilities in the burning fuel resulted in one of the five engines shutting down. Although this was compensated for by diverting fuel to the remaining engines and running them for longer, subsequent missions were fitted with vibration dampeners to prevent this sort of error again.
