How in the world does 100% of the circumferential weld fail instantaneously? You’d expect a localized failure, not the entire weld holding the tank to the base to let god at once. Was the entire tank 100% full and they kept pressurizing it? Are there no pressure safety valves?
How often do water tanks fail like that?
That is one of the most incredible failure videos I’ve seen.
>Are there no pressure safety valves?
THERE is the operative question.
A Clearwell (Ground Storage)Tank are required to be Vented to Atmosphere and have a Screen to keep out critters (birds, coons, etc) even if the Vent were to be clogged/blocked the Tank would split a seam if filling or collapse in on it self, A split would mean that a welded seam failed and it would never explode and lift off the ground. And getting Pumped water to a high enough pressure would be almost impossible. The Line/System would not reach a high enough pressure fast enough to explode like that.
On the video there’s a Fire/Explosion on the screen. I want to know what the Fuel was ?!?!
