Hold On! Sheesh, everybody back in their corners! The tiles are much lighter/lower density than the other materials of the shuttle. From 39 miles up, I certainly could see some of the tiles headed westward, either through wind drift or ballistic impacts from the heavier debris at the time of break-up.It would not be very many tiles, but a few could have landed in Fort Worth.
