Hi Franklin,
You describe a classic via barrel crack—comes from the thermal expansion 
mismatch between the ED copper and the PCB resin in the z-direction during the 
soldering processes [the hotter the worse—read lead-free] [you should be taking 
my workshop on the subject at IPC EXPO/APEX on the morniong of March 31.
