IIRC, it's a couple inches, but could be wrong.  One thought I did have
is whether that main tank was modified for that tank tip camera that
they used on another recent flight.  I assume there was no camera 
present, since we would have seen video, but did it require a cutout
in the insulation?  If so, was that cutout patched with something?
The thought was whether the torn section could have started here.
Another thought was water getting under the insulation, freezing,
and causing a separation.
