I really hate to do this, as I try to keep my opinions here separate from my job, but I feel that I should be honest here and point out that I am an employee of Lockheed Martin at the Michoud Assembly Facility. I have had only a few brief involvements with the ET program while there. I am not directly involved in the investigation nor even the design and production of the External Tank.

That said, it should be noted that the opinions I express on this site are entirely my own, and do not reflect the opinions or policies of Lockheed Martin or NASA in any way.
