I'm somewhat ashamed that that was one of first things I thought of
when I heard debris was being found on the ground.  We now have an
existence proof that a large semi-RLV can have a worst case reentry,
complete with total destruction of the vehicle and crew, without
injuring anyone on the ground.  Data from the Columbia disaster will
be part of every launch license application for the next twenty years.
