Not an answer?
Or, not the answer I was looking for?
Or, The Answer is NO?
The tanks continued to tear instead of failing gracefully?
They gave up? YES?
Any Space Tank that Humans inhabit should fail Gracefully.
Sounds like they gave up...

The second test flight was fully successful, to everyone's great relief.
Not all the subsequent test flights were successes (that was a time when
people believed in testing rockets at least a few times *before* putting
valuable payloads on them), but that particular problem was understood
well enough that it didn't recur.
