Good! - I am eager for news from the people who actually know something about this!

I am pleased that they are holding press conferences now while the interest is high, though we must be patient. The real answers will not come immediately.

Thanks for the ping, Howlin.

I hope they go into more detail about why a mere 60 degree rise on the external fuselage above the left wing was significant. It was apparently abnormal but doesn't look like a big deal compared to the temperatures underneath (1000-3000 degrees).

Also, I'd like to know how a burn-through into the wing, hot enough to melt wiring, wouldn't have been detected by the internal temp sensors in other parts of the wing. I believe the guy said yesterday that the only sensor registering a temp rise was the one on the fuselage above the wing. I assume the wing is essentially hollow. Maybe it was compartmentalized?

Marking my place. Thanks for the thread.

Starting. Have a feed from the net.

It's probably from NASA-TV; their servers are overloaded. I'll see if I can find a less slammed server.
