The Space Shuttle is not a capsule, it's a spacecraft. They found many pieces of the Challenger space shuttle, including the crew compartment.
The space shuttle Atlantis did not blow up. It successfully completed its final mission, STS-135, in July 2011 and is now retired. The space shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, and the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated during re-entry in 2003.

There were two fatal all-hands accidents in the US Space shuttle program, the Challenger and the Columbia. Rumors have it a number of Soviet shots ended in fatal accidents or cosmonauts literally dead and adrift- in outer space. These have never been confirmed by the Russians. apart from the two space shuttle accidents, there were no in-flight underway fatal accidents in the entire US Space program- the Apollo lol flash fire occured ON THE GROUND testing an oxygen life-support system that tragically, caught fire.

Yes the Shuttle Columbia, suffered a great tragedy in 2003 and the Shuttle Challenger was lost to an explosion after launch in 1988. Columbia was one of the first shuttles and made over 20 trips to space. She was a great ship. R.I.P Cosmonauts.
