Also happened in 2009 on taxi. Boeing 737-7Q8, registered VH-VBA, and the ASTB conclusion was "The fatigue crack had originated under the influence of residual stresses in the steel surface associated with grinding damage during manufacture, and its initiation was probably hydrogen-assisted from plating processes applied to the journal bearing surfaces."
