...just thinking about it, I'm not certain it's possible for some of the spokes to increase in tension in this way.
Certainly, some of them lost a lot of tension as the ones that broke that were balancing them broke loose.
And when I see some sort of damage like that, where a few spots on the flange have broken at the same time, my mind always goes to some sort of incident, like a crash or a very hard landing off a curb.
