From the video I have it
appears to have lost a lot of tiles and then several other pieces some look a
lot larger than tiles, but I am Guessing. I will comment later on my opinion.
The video will be on the news tonight. If someone has an e-mail for someone at NASA
that I should send it to I would appreciate a note
Privately at Schmutz@infowest.com

Shuttle Columbia breakup
What about lightning on the left
wing? That was the side that was impacted by the insulation hitting it on
liftoff. Perhaps some of the tiles could no longer insulate against such
an incident, resulting in a problem with temperature readings at that time as
well as hydraulics?
