I have never seen something like that before.

Any chance your radiator froze and that is what that caused it to break? Or maybe it froze significantly weakening it and the pressure from the system broke it.

edit: I am also wondering if maybe your radiator became clogged and the pressure from the pump caused it to explode. The cap is on the intake side, and it looks like the output side exploded

Your trail fix is to send someone into town to get a new radiator.
