Hi, I've been watching over and over the video of the "insulation" (looked more like ice to me) impacting the underside of the port wing and shattering into a cloud of particles. One thought..could this debris have somehow damaged the covers to the port undercarriage well, say displaced/damaged the cover? Would this tie in with the temp. readings and then drop outs of the sensors in this area of the wing? I would imagine (from my model of the shuttle) that damage here would pretty much be a route 1 access for high temp plasma into the main structural members of the port wing assembly.
