“In other NASA news, workers at the Kennedy Space Center damaged the external fuel tank for Space shuttle Atlantis. NASA says the workers accidentally struck the tank with a mobile work platform, denting the foam. The dent is about 3/8 of an inch deep on the upper part of the tank very close to the centerline.”
