To be more exact Mono Mythel Hydrazine as used on the OMS engines and numerous pocket rockets on the shuttle. The white ammonia smelling vapor from Hydrazine is kool-aid compared with MMH. One would be suprised how this stuff can survive inside of small machinery parts weeks after a fire. But would it survive the 200,000 high speed burning descent from low orbit?
If body parts and mission patches made it to the ground intact, my guess is that highly toxic chemicals did, too.
