Even with the blurry pic, I clearly see a perfect circumferential cut which coincides with the failure point. Where your rear mounting screws really loose? Perhaps there was some intermittent contact with the exhaust leading up to the failure. Regardless, that's it. Doesn't take much to create a stress riser. It's like cutting glass. Sharp corners fracture easily.
