New problems with tiles called "uprecendented"
"The trouble has nothing to do with foam or other launch debris but rather the accidental slippage of ceramic-fiber fabric used to fill the thin gaps between thermal tiles."
Ceramic? Isn't that what they used instead of freon on the World Trade Center?
The buildings are also thought to have been the first buildings to use non-asbestos fireproofing. The fibers of the spray-on fireproofing product were reportedly ceramic rather than asbestos.
When will we learn?
