How did this happen? (WARNING- graphic photos! ONLY for the automotively mature!)

How did this happen? What caused it?
The engine was idling and a major explosion happened, shattering and sending the lower grill (W211) yards away, and breaking the splash shield below the radiator in half. The receiver/drier opened up like a tin can (presumably at the seam).
