Left wing of shuttle struck during launch by piece of insulation foam detaching from main lauch fuel tank.
That's the cause. No terrorism.

Amazing...they were re-entering, not LAUNCHING!!!
To: Lazamataz
Why wouldn't they have aborted the launch? Did they do any kind of damage assessment befor the shuttle tried to land? Why would they let the flight continue or not plan for something if they knew about the insulation hitting the wing?

insulation foam? sounds inconsequnetial
Did I just hear FNC talking head say debris could be radioactive?
