[0.1.2.0] Need a Way to Tell What Broke

Fairly often things will break just by setting the craft on the launchpad or runway.  If there's alot of parts, and especially when there's alot of parts that are the same, it can be impossible to tell what broke.

There really needs to be some way to tell where a break occurred.  Otherwise trying to compensate with struts can be complete guesswork.

The mission report that pops up when a vehicle break apart provides some information on what broke. Just the part numbers and names, but if you have multiple parts of the same type, it very hard to know which one out of them it is. It would be good for the Engineer's report in the VAB to provide a pre-launch part failure assessment (bad joint connections).

I would like to be able to put labels on some (or all, if I want) of my parts on a specific vehicle in the VAB.  I might have labels like:  "lander decoupler", "Booster tank 2", "Transfer stage cockpit", etc.  This would be useful when trying to find the right part if it was displayed in the VAB Parts Manager and Kerbal Manager.  It would also be very helpful if these labels were displayed on the Crash Report.
