When rockets, full of liquid oxygen and propellant, start to break apart in the atmosphere they pretty quickly look like a an explosion.
A rocket with no nosecone will basically lose structural integrity very, very quickly. A rocket 'breaking down' doesn't look like fluttering bits and bobs raining down, it looks like a big fireball.
