Upper PAL ramp that didn't fall off:

Lower PAL ramp with part of it removed to access the intertank (notice the
nice clean cut in the lower portion to do the work):

Good view of the Upper and Lower PAL ramp with the close out foam (repair)
in place. Also, notice how much bigger and further forward the upper PAL
ramp appears:

ET in orbit picture with part of the PAL ramp missing. Notice you can see
the Intertank closeout cut and repair to the PAL ramp is forward of the
PAL ramp debris location. Also, look at the sharp forward edge of the
debris location, looks similar to the intertank access cut to the PAL ramp:

Did the PAL ramp debris originate at a repair site?
