Those Ti rings look as clean as a whistle. I bet the CF tube went. The caps, rings and porthole blew out just like that bottle cap in the above YouTube experiment.

Like others mentioned, in a composite material, I don’t see how acoustic analysis can predict the future behavior of the vessel. There may be stress built up in a single location that lets go without warning and causes a split second chain reaction where the vessel fails.
