where parts would be found, I haven't got a clue, but I have heard that the heaviest parts generally have been found in Lousiana

I'm just working on the assumption that perhaps a piece of the RCC came off early. I'm probably way off base.

Probably not. They'd be west of Ft Worth. Came off early and lightweight.

The picture going around does seem to show the renforced carbon/carbon "glove" leading edges were peeling off, one by one. There are 22 on each wing about 2 feet long each and bolted at each end. 22 gap fillers, prevent hot gas from getting behind them.

Two of those "gloves" look like they're sticking out ahead of the wing. Many more, closer to the front seem to be gone already. Burning aluminum trails behind the wing.
