There was no space shuttle explosion in 2004. In 2003, the space shuttle Columbia came apart due to a hole in the wing allowing the heat of re-entry to enter and damage the frame. This hole had been caused by falling foam from the external fuel tank's insulation.
The Challenger disintegrated in 1986 because of a faulty O ring on a solid rocket booster which failed to seal, allowing gases to leak out and further damage to occur to the external fuel tank.
