because any G force powerful enough to cause AN hardware to fail
catastrophically like that would most likely result in some of the
surrounding airframe structure to fail along with it.

Bad assumption, in that you think all airframes are always new, always
perfectly maintained, and perfectly designed.

But as the old adage goes, **** happens. Perhaps the bolts were
over-torqued and were stretched beyond limits, elongation of the
