I'm still trying to come to terms with the second image. Did the shaft break completely off the big end of the rod? Assuming that the rod cap is facing the camera, the shaft should be, well, it should be pointing straight away from the camera, embedded lengthwise in the block.

I think a rod bolt failure is the only way that could of happened. Bolt failed crank was rotating over at BDC or TDC, journal popped out and the bottom end of the rod just kept on trucking to the block wall. The thing I don't get is that it seems like the cylinder wall would stop it before the oil pan?? It must be really messy in there.
