Then what about my post are you disagreeing with.

That a few tiles coming off would've caused almost immediate disentegration. Rather I believe that a few tiles coming off would've cause a burn-through and would taken a few minutes.

I never said that.

Gotta do some internet work. I'll check back later or tomorrow night.

I don't understand why everyone gets so angry over these discussions and I don't mean to raise heart rates over this issue.

Most shuttle flight return with missing tiles. Per NASA's own reports. It takes a big hole to cause real damge and loss of the orbiter.

NASA considers loos of up to 40 tiles routine.

But a big whack taking out a group of 10-12 might be a completely different result.
