Looking at the ET cam playback, I did see one small release about 2 min 5 sec after SRB sep. It appears to have cleared the STB leading edge. Q was very low at that time. Agree?

Yep I think we all saw that one. As far as I could tell it didn't hit anything though.

Here's one- I had to resize it because it was too big- sorry for the delay. This was taken standing at the fence outside the press site.
Awesome shot! Glad to have someone who was there on board! How was the sound out there man?
Well, I am a girl not man But the sound was incredible as always. It is the greatest crakling rumble you ever heard. It sets off car alarms everywhere.
I was fortunate enough to be just on the other side of the water from the press site...maybe a half-mile closer for the first military launch. That "crackling rumble" is truly awesome...and I don't use that word frequently. It seemed to grab me physically and shake me from the inside out.
That is the most memorable part of that launch for me...a long time ago, too. I think it was early 1985. That was the closest I have ever been to a Shuttle launch.
Cheers,
Larry

Launch looked pretty clean from the ET camera.
It did to me, too. I saw one small piece around 5 minutes or so almost float off below the orbiter just left of the left rear ET support strut. It looked like it was near the rear, because after a second or so it appeared to hit the engine exhaust and shot off to the lower left.
What was interesting was watching the LOX feed pipe 'grow' towards the camera between liftoff and MECO - pay attention to the dark, sort of dashed line on the pipe at the bottom of the camera to see what I'm talking about.

I'm wondering how the excitement of the launch affected the WH UM
I was afraid I'd have to 'refly' some of mine!

Not much better than 'gravity' not affecting the debris as much after 4 min.
Doh!

Seems Atlantis wasn't the only one to barely make its window! It's Hale's last day for a successful WH UM and the excitement of the launch must have forced an early deploy to the laundromat.

Great launch. Maddness that the idiot reporter got to ask the same question. He has no right to be there.

Let's hope Bill Harwood doesn't get critical with his questions as usual.
