I'd have to disagree, You break u-joints on the launch, not going though the traps. That drive shaft failed in the center, most likely from not being perfectly strait or balanced.
What happens, is when they get so high in RPM, they start to get a harmonic to them and then start to "jump rope" and the tube fails in the middle like that. Then all hell breaks loose!! lol

man that sucks i know exactly how you feel.. mine let loose about 130 and the yoke was still in the trans and everything just like yours... its a horrible sound but luckly mine only broke my tcase adpater plate so it didnt take out the trans.
from those pictures its hard to tell since everything is so skint up but it makes me wonder if it was a ujoint failure and that started the whole shebang

Yah no telling what went first, but I blame the driveshaft myself, after talking to ScottA about his and all the critical speed stuff it makes sense, I'ma just make my new one out of 2" oil field drilling pipe lol
