Best Answer

The Space Shuttle "Challenger" , The 25th flight of the Space Shuttle Program , exploded 73 seconds into the flight when the O-RING (the ring at the bottom of the rocket booster) broke apart when the icy temperature caused it's pliability (stretchiness) to fail , causing it to interfere with the rest of the Space Shuttle , obviously causing a explosion . Unfortunately, All of the seven crew died in this situation .
