At least the priorities are straight!
Holy cow, hadn’t heard about that yet!
That really sucks for them. :
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. 
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!
