Oh, I didn't mean on re-entry, I meant something like this happened before, one blowing up on launch, and another blowing up in mid flight to space. I assumed when you said "nothing like this has happened before" you meant nothing ever happened to a space vessel before.
Like I said, of COURSE they have no idea what happened. Often they have no idea what happened in a plane crash. Everything is going fine and suddenly it takes a dive and crashes straight into the ground. The only thing they know about this is that it exploded.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
