It happend when i was riding real fast and hit a small bump. My first thoughts were that i tripped the bearings or something. When i took it to my lbs the menchanic opened it up and showed me the axle broken in half. He said he never seen that before.
In the twenty or so years I spent in the wholesale and retail cycling industry, bottom bracket axle breakage was extremely rare, almost non-existent. All breakage cases were due to defective castings or forgings.
