The tiles on those floating pieces certainly looked damaged
to me (in Av Week's excellent color photos), despite the fact
that they were designed to withstand very high heating.

The photo caption begins:

"Lower right-hand forward fuselage of the orbiter
Challenger ..."

Allegedly it was the *left-hand* forward fuselage which so
damagingly struck the water. My mind is open to heat, impact,
and crush damage at altitude. My book's conclusions (based
upon cause's different from NASA's) reopen the 'cabin' door.

On your favorites list? One of the pictures on this page shows a burned-out
hole in an SRB near the joint, and is labelled:

Le trou de la fuite

which altavista translates as

the hole of the escape.

"fuite" = "escape" but "fuite"=" leak" too

1) I did not make the site. It's a French site I found on the web and I find
the entire site quite impressive :
http://www.capcomespace.net/shuttle/
It's also one of my favorite and one of the most complete (and interesting)
fan-made site I've found

2) "Le trou de la fuite" would be translated by "the hole of the leak" (or
"the hole where the leak was"... or "the place in the SRB where the flame
made a hole though the metal" or however you would correctly say it in
english... Sorry for my grammar mistakes).

You're doing just fine. I thought I knew what the French meant, but I
wanted an authoritative translation (clumsy as altavista's was).

As with any interface between different languages, the context in one
language is not as readily apparent in another. The word for "escape"
would naturally also apply to the concept of a leak, since a leak is a
matter of contents escaping from a container.

Consider the word "apartment" in English. When us English speakers hear
it, we all know (from the context in which it always appears) as a set of
rooms in a building where a person or family live. But if you look at
the word itself, it means "a place that is apart or separated from
something else." If you were a French speaker, and had never encountered
the word "apartment" in its familiar (to us) context, you might have a
hard time figuring out what the hell was being dicussed... and you'd
probably not be faulted for thinking that this "separation," this
"apartness," was forced or non-intentional.

Just a thank you to John and Lou. Great to see some quality posts in
here!

I wish I could contribute something to the discussion, but frankly
most of the events surrounding the Challenger explosion have always
seemed rather confusing to me. Time to kick back and learn.
