Jerusalem - the Israeli daily paper Maariv has published a photo of the Shuttle Columbia released during the fifth day of its tragic mission, that it could try the existence of two important leaks on its to the left. NASA, 48 hours before the tragedy, had distributed a famous inner that informed of a damaging to edge.

The Image - the release has been gained to leave from the resumptions of a television camera that was found to edge of the small boat, and that it has been used in occasion of one telephone call between the first Israeli minister Ariel Sharon and Ilan colonel Ramon, the first astronaut of Jerusalem.

The TELEPHONE CALL - During the conversation, Ramon has intentional to share with Sharon the show of the Earth seen from the space. The television camera then has framed the Planet and leaves of the Shuttle, comprised the left wing and those that today seem to be two long fissures. The Israeli newspaper it supports that " even if to NASA they were shrewed of the leaks, could not have made null in order to save the crew ".

Yah, I used dictionary.com's translator. I don't understand most of it, but I think the gist is: Ramon sent these pics back to Sharon in Israel while he was speaking with him. And it shows two gashes in the left wing, but even if NASA knew about it, there was nothing they could do.

More than likely, it is just some camera distortion and not cuts in the wing.
