This accident may be completely irrelevant to normal operations. Wait and see what they find. I believe overpressure safety devices must be disabled for this test, and with that someone may have screwed up and gone well above the design pressure diff. Human error is the more common cause of accidents in the air compared to mechanical failure, why should it be any different on the ground?
