  Also from the article:

  If the worst happens and the dome is punctured, 2,000 tonnes of CO2 will enter the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the emissions of about 15 round-trip flights between New York and London on a Boeing 777. “It’s negligible compared to the emissions of a coal plant,” Spadacini says. People will also need to stay back 70 meters or more until the air clears, he says.

    People will also need to stay back 70 meters.

    Huge amounts of carbon dioxide can be far more dangerous. The Lake Nyos disaster has killed over 1700 people.

  160km/hr as per TFA.

      And if there is a known high wind coming, the plant can forcefully go through the compression cycle to remove the bubble.

    That’s really not that big of a wind. One bad storm and we have it burst

      Also, per the article, the danger zone in a burst is only claimed to be 70m until cleared and the CO2 release still pales in comparison to a regular coal plant - “equivalent to 15 round trips between New York and London on a Boeing 777”

  The article also mentions that they can deflate it in around 10 hours
