AIR FORCE IMAGERY CONFIRMS COLUMBIA WING DAMAGED
------------------------------------------------
High-resolution images taken from a ground-based Air Force tracking 
camera in southwestern U.S. show serious structural damage to the 
inboard leading edge of Columbia's left wing, as the crippled orbiter 
flew overhead about 60 seconds before the vehicle broke up over Texas 
killing the seven astronauts on board February 1.
