Gene Gleason Ch 7 Los Angeles: Anything in orbiter response that would indicate other than tiles?

Dittmore: Well within the ability of the FCS to respond, but "out of family" - we've never seen it before. Not tremendously unusual by itself.

Dittmore: loss of a single tile would not result in a loss of vehicle. [Dodged question - don't want to speculate]

All wiring of failed sensors goes through wheel well area.
