I don't know about the hitting or melting, but that is most definitely a bad weld. Look at the last pic he posted of the hanger. The weld is undercut. It would most likely be undercut on the pipe also, which would make the metal thin and weak right there. It's no wonder it cut loose.

Banging it on the ground didn't help, but a proper weld should have held anyway.
