I'm surprised the vessel was wound as a cylinder instead of a sphere. Also a bulkhead in the middle of the length would have done alot for strength even if it had a large hole in the center. I suspect the center of the tube crushed, popping off the ends.

But hey, I was an EE not a ME, what do I know?
