Ted Re..The problem seems to be pointing more and more to that chunk hitting the left wing. I don't understand why they didn't check it when they were in earth orbit. They don't have the ability to go under the shuttle. In addition, even if there was damage, there was no way to fix it. On the news tonight, they said NASA was looking into the wheel door coming open as the problem. In the last couple of plane crashes, the experts have talked about metal fatigue that can develop whether a plane is well maintained or not. Is it not possible that parts of the original Columbia remain and are increasingly subject to metal fatigue? It could be, but its not likely at this point. Everything points to a overheating problem.
