After over two weeks in Space, disaster struck on Space Shuttle Columbia. Upon reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, the shuttle broke apart due to a severe weakness in the left wing which was cause on launch.

CORRECTION: In this video I mentioned that the SRBs are connected to the Orbiter Vehicle, the SRBS are infact connected to the External Fuel Tank. A thank you to those in the comments section for pointing that out.
