Thermal protection would only be an issue if significant tile loss occurred and a wing burned.

Multiple pieces, man. Multiple pieces. I'm gonna be sick. Could have been too much heat, too much pressure on the airframe, we may never know.

It has apparently broken up in reentry.

Film out of Texas shows multi tails.

Multiple tails means it has broken into pieces on reentry, the shuttle and the astronauts on board are lost. A sad day for America.

CNN says it was lost over 'PALESTINE' Texas. What a bizarre coincidence (?).

Right at the time it disappeared, we heard a large boom.

What was the delay in seconds of the boom.

My hubby knew all of those astronauts. It was a very sad time in this household. I was watching too. It is something I will never forget.

NASA declaring debris found in central Texas as hazardous. Report immediately and avoid.

What could the multiple tails mean?

It's coming down in pieces. Chances are the heat shield failed...if so they cooked in the cabin.

What a horrible thing to happen...
