Of course, this begs the question as to why, if the aerodynamic force was sufficient to strip off the wings, the rudder, and the main engine bells, it would not have been sufficient to align the main body with the airstream like an arrow.

But it does bear a striking resemblance in any case.

I agree it bears a resemblance, but that's all. What you are calling the OMS ears appear to be almost out at the wingtips...now look at the actual orbiter pic which you and myself both poityed and compare.

It's not the shuttle.

Ask yourself this....at this point in the video there does not appear to be a smoke trail or other parts breaking off. If the wings were coming apart, if the rudder was ripped off and especially if the engines were torn off, there would be a lot more smoke and debris coming off this image.
