around two minutes into the launch, the SRBs, 2 white solid rocket boosters, detach from the space shuttle and parachute into the ocean, where they are retrieved to reuse. The SRBs are the extra power that really pushes the shuttle into space.

After about 8 minutes, the EXT, the external fuel tank (big red thing), falls and explodes in the atmosphere. It has no rocket engine- it just supplies the shuttle's engines with fuel during takeoff.

When a body part falls off why do the medics put it on ice?

The body part will begin to spoil as soon as it falls off, which reduces the possibility that the body will take it back if reattached. Ice slows down the spoilage until the medics can transport the victim to surgery.
