Default A Matter of Principle

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.
