The zipper for the primary compartment, and about halfway up the left side.
The camera bag was face down on the floor of the jeep behind the passenger
seat.  I grabbed the bag and that's all she wrote.  Cameras and lenses
everywhere.

The flaw in backpack-style bags is that the zipper isn't just closing a
protective flap, but is actually holding the contents in.  When I had the
bag upside down, the weight of the contents were just too much for the worn
out zipper.
