The Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere on February 1, 2003, tragically resulting in the loss of all seven crew members on board. The accident was caused by damage to the shuttle's thermal protection system, which occurred during launch when a piece of foam insulation struck the left wing. This allowed hot gases to enter the wing during re-entry, leading to the shuttle's breakup.
