Just heard they are saying that it WAS a burn through of the left SRB, and
that it can be seen from  other camera angles.

Can anyone explain why off earth the thing didn't go tumbling madly
after seperating? How there was no apparent sign of flame from the side of
the SRB after seperating?

(I think the rest of my analysis will probably still hold true: mainly
incorrect in that the initial break in the ET was not a materials failure.

Since Morton Thiokol already came close to a burn through once before, I
suspect they are about to get put into some VERY hot water.
