38. If a spaceship blows up, would every person on board die? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Spaceships do not usually blow up, especially in LEO. They are quite stable. There may be several problems or malfunctions that lead to an explosion. Usually, there is an indication of one or more problems prior to the spaceship exploding. However, that is not out of the realm of possibilities.
