Yeah, but they hadn't heard the report, so they were clearly speaking off the cuff.

I don't think the timing is right. If I got the sequence right from the NASA conference, there weren't any sensor problems until the Shuttle was over Texas.

Of course, they aren't even sure that the sensor problem is related to what destroyed the Shuttle.

The shuttle is moving very fast. When they had the first sensor problem at 5:53 the shuttle was just north of San Francisco. From there it moved south of Lake Tahoe and was in Texas just a few minutes later. The schedule that I have had it actually touching down on the runway in Florida at 6:15:50 PST.

I wonder if there could have been a meteor hit the shuttle ---I saw a large meteor sometime during the night that streaked quite far down.
