I suspect the sandy wind either from flight start up, landing, or from the environment probably grinded the blades eventually resulting to this. Still it's impressive that it lasted this long and let's not forget that this thing runs in Linux. Hurray for Linux!

I was wondering if the blade failure caused the emergency landing, or the emergency landing caused the blade failure.
