Default More cracked ribs on Discovery ET

Four new cracks on the other side of the tank from the first ones:

I note that the original and newly found cracks seem to be about equally
spaced to either side of the port SRB; was that involved in their
formation by stresses on the intertank structure during assembling the
launch stack or from something slightly shifting while it sat on the pad?
