Bugger...
It seems likely that the Columbia crew knew about what was about to happen, which is pretty crappy. Current data analysis shows that in the minute after radio contact was lost, the shuttle was probably still intact and entering a flat spin, probably caused by the left wing ripping off.
The shuttle got back into position for sending a last 2 seconds of data before the aerodymanic forces finally tore it to pieces.
We really do need to find a better way of doing this.
