While searchers on the ground continue to find more wreckage of the Space Shuttle Columbia, forensic experts begin the task of identifying the dead.
And NASA investigators are trying to figure out how exactly they died.
Preliminary signs show a problem with the left wing.
Meanwhile, President Bush will be briefed today about the loss of the shuttle.
NASA's administrator will meet with Bush at the White House to discuss recovery efforts and the investigation.
