I am remembering an article I read that mentioned the astronauts also survived the initial blast but not the fall. Idk maybe a half remember fever dream/conspiracy theory.
Edit: found an article https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-07-29-mn-19581-story.html

3 of the backup oxygen supply were manually turned on after the "explosion" which was really more of a depressurized expulsion and some fire. The ?pilot? also tried maneuvers. Some of the crew therefore were possibly* alert and awake at least (others probably passed out), possibly right until impact with the water, and then instant death.
But it all happened in a few minutes, and mostly they would have been hyper focused on their training and fixing the problem.
