It did not explode.
It broke apart or it exploded from the heat.

In February, America was shocked
as the space shuttle Columbia exploded over Texas,
killing all seven on board. Here in East Tennessee, scientists at ORNL are working hard to keep a tragedy like this from happening again.
One of their scientists, Dr. Edgar Lara-Curzio, is helping NASA investigators try to determine the problems which may have led to the disaster and find a solution.
Until an improved heat-resistant tile testing system is in place, all shuttle flights will likely remain grounded.
