Has anyone got any hard evidence to show that 4B tanks or titan tanks explode from overpressure? I don't mean crack, leak or hiss slowly but explode, as in KABOOM! If it did, was the explosion enough to cause damage to a nearby person, like plastic shrapnel embedded in the face?

This might be my distrust of suspicious questions (just kidding) but I hope you are asking this from caution, not malice. Also, I don't think so. It would definitely crack before it exploded.

The tubing or fittings will burst harmlessly long before the tank would.

The little critters of nature, they don't know that they're ugly. That's very funny, a fly marrying a bumble bee. I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me. Why didn't you believe me?
