I can't explain why 2 of my glow plugs failed at the same time actually, but since it is a parallel circuit, I vote for hogging caused by a cascade .
I just replaced them all and hope they last a few years.
The hogging is common in semiconductors with a low dynamic resistance and can cause this sort of thing to occur without proper safeguards.
