it could have been 1 of millions of things... but i just think its strange how a large piece of frozen foam fell off and hit the wing during liftoff... like he said it could have chipped on of the heat resistant tiles causing the tiles to fail and the spacecraft to break up. Even though its a small chance that that happened... small errors on spacecraft can be catastrophic as seen with the challenger...
