At least the priorities are straight!

Holy cow, hadn’t heard about that yet!

That really sucks for them.  ::slight_smile:

Looks like it was hit with a really big baseball.

Glad no one was hurt.

Tsk, tsk, somebody forgot to open the roof vent prior to draining.  :cry:

I’ve seen it happen on new grain bins.  If you are draining the bin you normally open one of the doors on the top.  Glad no one was hurt.

I live in eternal fear of doing something like that. We actually have a compromised stainless conical that looks similar, just sitting there as a constant reminder.

Dogfish did this to one of their bright tanks a few months ago. Expensive mistake!
