Science Consultant Advice: Vibrations from Spaceship Explosion

[gapgirl1010]

Stupid question, not sure what to say...

In a science fiction movie, when a spaceship explodes, the vibrations form the sound nearly destroy a nearby spaceship. If you were the science consultant for the movie, what would your advice be for the producer?

Anyhelp would be greatfully accepted!

Space is pretty much a vacuum... can sound waves propagate in a vacuum? If not why not? Also I suspect the debris hurtling from the spaceship would damage the ship if it were close enough. =)
