The heat generated by Columbia's re-entry into the atmosphere was around 3000 degrees F. Heat entered the hole in the thermal tiles on the leading edge of Columbia's left wing caused by falling foam at launch. This structurally damaged the frame, causing it to fail and it is thought to have torn from the vehicle.

Where is the outside temperature sensor on a 2000 Mercedes e320?

The outside temperature sensor is located on the front left side of the vehicle in the lower bumper area. There is a small hole in the bumper where the sensor simply sticks thru the hole and is held in place by a small, raised rubber ring around the end of the sensor. Should the sensor fall out of it's normal place, the temperature will not be correct as it is affected by engine heat.
