WH says no sign of terrorism. This time I agree with them (as opposed to AA Flight 587). The only possibility of terrorism is that the debris which flew off the shuttle at launch was intentionally loosened.

The only possibility of terrorism is that the debris which flew off the shuttle at launch was intentionally loosened.

I wouldn't say that was the only possibility, I can think of several, but won't elaborate at this time, as it would only be idle speculation. It doesn't take much damage to make the Shuttle unflyable. If the re-entry attitude is wrong, you get what we got today, a fireball and lots of debris, or a shuttle that skips off the atmosphere and back into space.
