This might be the test you recall Jose. I would have to agree it was
hardly a pin-point failure, and certainly not at the root. Seems to be
a pretty good example of a well designed wing.

No, this wasn't it. What I recall (IIRC) was in German - maybe it was
an Airbus wing. There were three views, I thought I had them on my hard
drive but alas, I don't.
Nonetheless, this one is similar in that the failure happened all at
once, all over.

You need glasses and a hearing aid. At about the 3:27 point the wing is
clearly shown with a kink at one point and the narrator says that the
other wing failed at the same LOCATION (not locations) but wasn't
visible. Sure, some of the skin flew off above the failure point, but
the entire wing didn't even come close to a uniform failure.
