Latest article stated that they were only 10 pounds of explosives and that containment vessel when the charges were set off! Obviously the design of the containment vessel is questionable.

Must have been the high grade stuff!!!
 
A total containment vessel can completely contain the shrapnel and pressure of a bomb that explodes inside it. It is so strong that it can withstand the force of over 25 pounds of exploding TNT. Some total containment vessels can contain chemical and biological weapons, as well as explosive devices.

The vessel is designed to take, at most, 25 pounds for a single-use and 15 pounds for multiple uses.
