The glitch that guaranteed that the space shuttle Columbia would disintegrate on re-entry occurred at lift-off, and none...

Those dead trees--most either still standing or cut down and left to decay--are a potential tinderbox. A wetter, more humid climate makes a California-size conflagration unlikely. Still, there are dangers...
