What happens if it bursts?

Uncontrolled flow directly from the formation for two months until the relief well gets there.

Meaning lots more than there is now or the same, but until August when the relief wells are done?

What the heck did they drop the other tool? They just went back to get another one.

The burst strength of the 16” casing is apparently ~10,000 psi.

I would guess the working pressure to be around 5K to 7.5K. On new casing anyway.
Have see several joints (old) riser burst below working pressure during testing. Quite a Ba-Whosh even when filled with water.
