I'm not into saying what exactly they could have done, the fact is they had reason to know something was wrong and did nothing, just hoped they would get lucky, they didn't even try. Getting out side to look would not be anything like as hard as you paint it. The tile is not so fragile they couldn't have looked at it, that's bullshit. --- If they had to hunker down and ride for 3 times longer than they were prepared to that could've been done too, there are ways to extent resources -- Why was every one who told management that safety was being compromised fired, and the warning memo sent up the pipe ignored. -- I get the feeling some people want to see NASA fail, they have motives, such as if they can grind her down enough then they can take her privet. Jim PS I'm not one to say this is typical of Government, hell it's just as bad and often even worse in the privet sector.
