Certainly the first piece I observed detached while Columbia was to
the west of me. While any such debris that fell before the main breakup
would be much harder to find (assuming any actually reached the Earth), these
pieces I would guess would be much more valuable in the determination of what
exactly happened so some effort may be expended in trying to locate these.
Or at least the public ought to be informed of the possibility.
I'm wondering if some of the loss of the various sensor readings is
tied to the debris separation. Rick Baldridge's observation and mine have
debris separation correlated in time to the minute level (as best as I know
about) with some of sensor dropouts.
