Re: STS-107 Sensor timeline graphics

I went there. Many thanks.
Paging thru the presentation is scary.
Assuming that the pilots had displays of the sensors, watching each sensor as the minutes ticked by, one by one going hot and then going "off line" they would have known that some serious stuff was happening in the left wing well before they felt the OMS thruster fire, an unprecidented event during re-entry as far as I know.
SCARY.
