In the live video of the Challenger disaster shown nationwide
on launch day, the left booster could be seen ripping away
from the hydrogen tank at the aft ring-frame attachment. Yet
in a *delayed* release of *reduced* photography, NASA said
the right booster (which had much less thrust at the time) was
the first to tear away. Resolving this discrepancy should be a
a matter of principle. Demand the *original* photography.
