The reason;
Shoddy workmanship, poor design, not buried deep enough below the surface (and thus inordinate vibration), poor or inadequate bedding and not compacting the bedding enough are all probable reasons for early failure.
Oh, and maybe lack of meaningful inspection before the hole is filled up!
