That was one layer of of many, but it does seem that the vessel was designed and fabricated entirely made from hoop wound tows.

That constitutes engineering malpractice and criminal negligence.

I can't believe that the company that wound the vessel knowingly fabricated such a crime against nature.

Heck, I'm surprised that they were even able to pull the vessel off the mandrel it was wound on without breaking it in half if it was totally hoop wound
