2001 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 25000 miles

My moms water pump exploded, and it took out a fan belt. Has anyone ever heard of this? The guy at the repair shop said he had never seen anything like that. How could it have happened? I thought it might have froze over, but it happened during the summer. Any one have an idea of how it happened?

Never have I had this personally, the only thing I can think of causing this is a blown headgasket I mean horrifically blown but the heater hoses would blow up.

It was probably made of subquality parts. If the bearings locked up all of a sudden it may have caused this. But it isnt going to ExplodE.
