... From our analyses of the extant data, we report that we can find very little in the way of definitive or conclusive evidence for the fracture occurring during the darkrun. We find that there may be a suggestion that the secondary may have been stressed during the darkrun from the analysis of the focus sweep data, but it is, sadly, not the conclusive evidence that was wanted. ... If the fracture happened during the dark run, the figure of the secondary did not change appreciably. ...
