T+plus 7 minutes, 40 seconds. The main engines are beginning to throttle down to ensure the shuttle does not experience forces greater than 3 g’s as it continues to accelerate prior to engine shutdown.

T+plus 10 minutes. A very large piece of foam was seen breaking free from the external tank shortly after separation of the twin solid rocket boosters. Video from a camera on the tank showed the piece did not strike the orbiter’s right wing.

Just saw something a while ago, at about +4:00 come away from the starboard side of the ET and bang rather obviously down the right centerline of the orbiter, one strike...
I’m sure it was noticed...If we saw it on NASA Select...
Things happen pretty quick when you go that fast...
