...The One-Minute Pundit

This interesting UPI story confirms my belief that Columbia was done in by old age -- although I originally suspected some sort of massive structural failure upon reentry, caused by gravitational forces.

I'm surprised no one has commented on that now famous photo of the shuttle breaking up. It appears to have been flying sideways, and at an angle from its vapor trail. Read the story's sixth paragraph. I've a hunch Mr. Anderson may be close to the mark.
