True! That's kind of strange. I guess it's quite wide so the center was heavy enough to rip it all out? Maybe it was wet or something too.

I don't think it tore, all the lines are straight. Looks like it was just made of separate sheets that weren't connected, so nothing had to tear, the ones above the hole just fell in.
