Columbia's final minutes.
An excerpt from the book "Comm Check ... The Final Flight of Shuttle Columbia" details the final minutes of the Columbia's flight. A lot more detail than I've read anywhere else, including an explanation of how the chunk of foam slowed down 550 mph in two-tenths of a second before its collision with the shuttle's wing. This definitely looks like a book I'll want to read in its entirety.
