I can tell you I won't be standing next to these reservoirs anymore. (as I have in the past)

I saw a failure similar to this fresh out of college when I was doing insurance inspection/claims work. Consensus opinion was excessive porosity in the centerline of the longitudinal seam with failure starting at head/shell attachment weld. Tank basically just "unzipped". Good picture which I will add to my archive.
