fuel spill
As of this morning, workers on the shuttle had removed 181 tiles
from the nose area. Some said they smelled fumes from inside the
orbiter, but that doesn't necessarily mean that nitrogen tetroxide
fuel leaked in. NASA officials are still trying to assess the
damage and predict a delay of a week to a month or more. There
was no visible damage to the body of the shuttle.
