Two things stuck out in yesterday's test. Location wasn't dead on, and tiles were not affixed.
Both will leave us demanding more tests for anything conclusive. And after all, does anyone really think this was about anything other than stalling?
What investigation that involved our federal government has been run professionally in the last decade?

51 - " tiles were not affixed"
the RCC panels (there are 22 on each wing leading edge) on the leading edges are the 'tiles'. There are no additional insulating tiles on them, by design. However, the 'chunk' hit numbers of feet back, not on the RCC, but back by the wheel well, where there are tiles. We have had film of the impact point since day 1.
