Journal Jack William Bell's Journal: More indications my Columbia theory is correct

According to this article at Space.com it is looking more and more like I just might be right about what brought down Columbia! Basically the big chunk of the left wing they found is the carrier panel and shielding blocks from the very section of front-wing shielding that I suspected was the problem after analyzing the sensor data back in Febuary.

The article incorrectly identifies the shielding blocks as 'tiles', but otherwise is informative. Most interesting is the fact that the debris is described as being in 'fairly good condition'. I am curious as to exactly where they found the carrier panel. It is confusing because the article also describes how they found engine parts far to the East. But, if the carrier panel is the problem (as I suspect) then it would among be the most Western debris. Probably from the small group of parts found in California.

It will be pretty damn wierd if I do turn out to be right...
