On CNN this AM I saw footage of what could only have been burnthrough
of the Starboard SRB.  This was from NASA tracking footage taken to
the north of the Cape, and impounded until yeterday evening.  If this
is found to be the cause, we should remember that analysis of earlier
recovered SRB's showed evidence of burnthrough, and that it was stated
at the time that only seconds had separated the flight vehicle from
the catastrophe that we just witnessed.
