Apollo 13 had an on-board explosion on it's way to the moon. The astronauts aboard were lucky to make it back alive. The Challenger disaster was probably the one you're thinking of.

Challenger in 1986 on take-off.....(cold O-rings on the SRB)
Columbia in 2003 on re-entry. (Damaged ceramic heat-shield tiles).
