I'm not convinced that 'facts' can make it thru all that tin foil.

There is some other event--some other missing link that lead to the catastrophe beyond the wheel well.

If the ship were turning left, the right rear jets could fire to counter the motion.Gotcha, I was only thinking about the jets around the nose.

I only hope I'm not giving the wrong slant to what they are saying. I'm trying to repeat it as I hear it, but remember, I'm do NOT know what they are talking about! :-)

Oh he is NOT happy about those insinuating that they might have saved the crew.
He's blasting them. "I just don't think we would have EVER had enough information to make those risk trades."

I am not either! Sounds to me that a 60 degrees temperature rise is not enough to have caused this catostropic event.
This briefing is excellent. Still would be looking at the computer software! It may have given a false reading and caused the Shuttle autopilot to overcorrect!
He is slamming the press and their reporting tiles were the problem in a nice way!

Did he just say that they would have had to decide to sacrifice the vehicle, get to a certain altitutde, and ask the crew to bail out?

Thinking out of the box here.......could they have struck a piece of space debris on the approach??

You are reporting what he is saying! The wheel well temperature on one side was not enough different to make that the point of failure is what I get.

Makes me wish that everyone had a television set so they could listen to the experts, instead of the whack-jobs.
