Go to the other thread, it is explained there.
The TL;DR is, these have been cracking all year occasionally. Some teams have had them rip apart like this. There were bubbles found in the polycarbonate at the rim of the wheel, likely leading to the start of the failure, then the slamming in a pushing match with 359 caused the rest.
