Not sure of the point here. I don't think anyone is trying to assign blame for not predicting this could happen. It's just more of a surprise that this can happen, and at this point, hindsight is all we have. Point is, stuff died. Maybe some of the suggestions can alleviate it happening again? Or to someone else...

Agreed, I don't think anyone is passing blame here, nor should they! However, there does appear to be a lot of predicting going on as to how this tank should or should not have behaved in this scenario but it is hard to predict these sorts of things.
