Here's a couple better pics of Columbia on the launch pad. As you can see the left wing directly overlaps the Solid Rocket Booster.... and why does the left SRB have an extra black stripe near the top?

In this second photo you can really see how debris would drop off the SRB right smack into the wing leading edge... and why does Columbia look so f-ing dirty?
