Assuming it wasn't an optical illusion...

I wonder if the on board computers over compensated for the extra drag on the left side...

In the close-up picture there were no pieces falling off...Unfortunatly, right as the camera zoomed out it appeared that things started to break down...It would have been nice to have that close-up view for about 10 or 15 more seconds.

I hope they are able to pin down a cause quickly.
