Was this posted here and I missed it? I could'nt find it.
From here
All I could find out is it was a 20oz Aluminum Co2 in hydro. Chance of over fill denied. Investigation on going.
Even if it was an over fill the burst failed. If that is true then the reg[pin valve] failed. Or the tank Failed. Co2 at room temp is what 1200psi.? What Happened?????????? Where can I get a 5000psi fill for my HPA System???????? Maybe they were playing with Flame, That might explain it.

ELMWOOD PARK - They knew it was a risky hobby, but never expected it could be dangerous.
When Ryan Rodriguez, 18, and Michael Balistrieri, 15, decided to play paintball, they got all the protective equipment available.
But as the teens sat in Ryan's bedroom on June 6 cleaning and loading his paintball gun, one of the carbon dioxide tanks he had just taken to ABC Paintball in Paramus to be filled exploded. The tank, which holds the compressed gas used to propel the paintballs, was sitting an arm's length away from Ryan and Michael.
"Here we're worried about black-and-blues from the paintballs, and then this happens," said Ryan's mother, Linda Rodriguez.
Part of the room's door frame was blown off, pieces of metal stuck in the ceiling, and there was a giant hole in the wall near where the tank was sitting. The impact was so forceful that a piece of the tank flew down the stairs and ricocheted into the floor below. Furniture was broken into pieces and screws from around the room came out of the Sheetrock.
Linda Rodriguez ran upstairs screaming and frantically searched the boys for injuries.
"It was so loud that it sounded like a bomb went off," said Rodriguez. "They were white as ghosts and just sat there with these stunned looks on their faces."
Meanwhile, a block and a half away on Willow Street, Michael's mother, Sandy Balistrieri, was getting paperwork from her car when she heard the explosion. Terrified, she called Rodriguez's house to check on her son.
After a thorough examination of the startled teens, Rodriguez realized Ryan and Michel had not been hurt.
Ryan and Michael said they had severe headaches and ringing in their ears for days after the explosion.
Michael has had trouble sleeping since the incident and can't stop thinking about what happened.
"I try to forget it," he said. "But I just can't. After I heard the explosion, I thought I was going to die that day."
Ryan and Michael have pledged never to play paintball.
"This thing went off like a grenade," said Police Chief Don Ingrasselino. "There are a lot of parents out there buying these things for their kids and they need to know how dangerous they are."
