Re: Well, #$&@%!
Not so sure the starter caused that. If it was the starter, I would expect the damage to be around the starter mounting spots, not half back the bell housing.
Its actually plausible that the crack caused some stress on flex plate and made the starter bind up. Would be interested in some more photos.

Re: Well, #$&@%!
Fragments from the bendix got wedged between the bell and torque converter. The bell housing lost.
