That would be Apollo 13, but luckily nobody was killed. The only Apollo mission that ended up with a fatal explosion was Apollo 1, which set fire on the launchpad during a test exercise.

Just an addition to my previous answer. . . it was the Challenger that blew up after take off due to a bad piece of rubber gasket called an O-ring. It was the freezing temperatures that day that caused the O-ring to fail, and cause a leak between the fire and the fuel tanks.

Quick fact about Apollo 13 it was an oxygen tank that ruptured it didn't really blow up, but it did create a lot of problems.
