A more appropriate question would be... Can you show me another catastrophic failure in a professional racing bike that was weight weenied down to nothing, and then expected to perform?
There are plenty of failures from the days of steel bikes when drilling holes in frames and components to lose weight was the way to go. That period gave us BB cutouts, drilled forks and thin, lightweight dropouts. All of which were in pursuit of light weight, and lead to some nasty failures, even on steel bikes. I think the shattered carbon fork in question is related more to super-thin, drilled out racing frames of 1979 than to a Rambouillet.
