Weld failure analysis is complicated.....it would be hard to tell from just looking at those pics and come up with a determination of why that joint in question failed. Too many variables and unknowns. I'm just glad to hear that the driver is still with us and survived that violent crash.
When I say that it is complicated, I understand some of what goes on in these investigations.....I have close friends who do weld failure analysis for insurance companies, they use alot of high priced toys to come up with proof positive conclusions as to why something failed.....starting with an electron microscope.
