<<It seems that before take off, one of Columbia's wings somehow got bumped and a bit of damage had been done to some of the tiles near the wing's leading edge. However, it supposedly got fixed after a rigorous inspection.>>

The early report said it was booster tank insulation that fell off and hit the wing during lift off.

I was going to start a Columbia Disaster discussion thread this morning, but I had some errands to do...

However, there is one here now, so I was suggest we all bookmark it and participate over there...
