Why did my lug nut studs brake?

I am just curious.

Why did two lug nut studs brake on the same wheel? I am pretty sure I was the last one who touched them. Torqued them to 80 ft/lb.

One just broke when I had to put a breaker bar on it when it stopped moving.
When the second one stopped moving I sprayed it with the penetrating oil but still could not save it. When I finaly removed it the threads were stripped.

The vehicle is 1999 Accord, 4 cylinder with 136000 miles on it.

Regards,
Sam
