I haven't seen this anywhere else, but it doesn't look bogus:

The left wing of the Columbia shuttle from a picture taken out of the
shuttle's window. The picture was taken from the news program "Erev
Hadash" from Israeli television.
02-03-03 On the fifth day of his journey into space, Ilan Ramon spoke
with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon through a video link. He presented the
prime minister his view out of the windows of the Columbia shuttle and
right there on the surface of the wing on the left side you could see a
long crack and a dent. Eleven days after, it was that very same wing
that broke off the shuttle and finally brought it to its destruction.
Even if NASA knew about the damage from the moment it happened, they
could have done nothing except pray.
According to Aharon Lapidot, a well respected aviation expert in Israel,
the left wing theory is the most plausible explanation for the shuttle
disaster.

There's a photo of the wing that shows a huge crack.
