Where are your facts Todd?

Hi Luis.

[TLBSHOW]

The fact that it was witnessed as big and red over Las Vegas.

The fact that the left wing was damaged at lift off.

The fact someone in Utah saw things breaking off it there and the fact NASA says it heated up in 60 seconds.

The fact that a person in California says he saw problems there as it went over.

Those facts make me say that it was at re-entry that the tiles started to burn and kept burning as it flew over the different states. With tiles flying off it as it flew across the states and it just kept getting hotter and hotter until over Texas it exploded or broke up from the heat.

That is how I base my opinion as a fact as to what happend to this space shuttle.
