Without seeing it right in front of you, we're limited to partial analyses from low res pictures. I'm just thinking massive oxide bifilm defect that finally went.
Uh, translation? I'm not trying to give the impression I'm an expert at analysing metal failure, or that I know what happened here, all I'm saying is analysing the fracture site could possibly tell us what happened.
