It is interesting to see that this is not only a skin failure, but that at least 6 stringers also have broken, most in at least 2 places so that a whole section is missing. I am not a metallurgist, but it does suggest to me that there was a significant overpressure within the pressure hull

Regardless of the cause - which will no doubt be decided upon in the fullness of time - I am just pleased all are safe.
