The explosion on Apollo 13 happened due to a faulty oxygen tank. The crew had to transfer to the lunar module for life support and used creativity and resourcefulness to prevent a total loss of cabin atmosphere. They conducted a controlled burn of the lunar module engine to adjust their trajectory and safely return to Earth.
