Hm OK. My expertise on this is somewhat limited. But my understanding is that the ability to safely get the crew out at almost any time during launch is a big advantage of Soyuz and a big problem of the shuttle. Specifics of when it was/wasn’t relevant are not clear to me.
You're right, the shuttle had a lot of red zones where it was simply not possible to save the crew in the event of a failure, most of these are during the initial first minutes of launch while the boosters are firing. 1/2
If we assume a similar failure with the shuttle, at similar altitude and with the vehicle remaining intact, the shuttle should have been able to recover by either return to launch site or landing in Africa (altitude depending) 2/2
