The shuttle, The Columbia, exploded about 65,500 feet away above Earth when it was coming back from a 16 day space mission to land on Florida. Multiple alarms went off in the cabin as the astronauts tried to regain control the pilots attempted to restart the auxilary power unit two and three. Suddenly, there was a sudden decompression in the cabin causing the astronauts to be unconscious. Moments later, a chunk of insulation broke off from the shuttle's external fuel tank, later resulting to The Columbia's explosion.
