I think the days leading up to it were probably worse.  Ground control knew there potentially was a problem.  Was the flight crew ever informed?

Nothing was worse than the challenger disaster.  Entire schools like mine were in special assemblies to watch the first civilian, a teacher, fly into space.  Holy farking Martha's pearls, Batman, that shiat traumatized a generation.

/"Are... are they OK?"
//me to my teacher.

Subject: INFO: Possible PAO Event Question
Rick and Willie,
You guys are doing a fantastic job staying on the timeline and accomplishing great science. Keep up the good work and let us know if there is anything that we can do better from an MCC/POCC stand-point.
There is one item that I would like to make you aware of for the upcoming PAO event on Blue FD 10 and for future PAO events later in the mission. This item is not even worth mentioning other than wanting to make sure that you are not surprised by it in a question from a reporter.
During ascent at approximately 80 seconds, photo analysis shows that some debris from the area of the -Y ET Bipod Attach Point came loose and subsequently impacted the orbiter left wing, in the area of transition from Chine to Main Wing, creating a shower of smaller particles. The impact appears to be totally on the lower surface and no particles are seen to traverse over the upper surface of the wing. Experts have reviewed the high speed photography and there is no concern for RCC or tile damage. We have seen this same phenomenon on several other flights and there is absolutely no concern for entry.
That is all for now. It's a pleasure working with you every day.
