And SURPRISE! NASA knew Columbia crew could die but chose not to tell them

I found this to be a major flaw in the story.

Video of Columbia’s takeoff showed a briefcase-sized chunk of foam breaking off an engine and colliding with the shuttle’s wing, gouging a hole in the shield designed to protect the craft from the furious heat generated as it crossed from the vacuum of space into the atmosphere.

I don’t know. Tough call there.
