stupid belts, stupid sensor

ok, so i'm all happy today cruising around. Just got both turbos back online two days ago. Boy did I miss boost. Anyway, i'm zipping around town and I hit a stoplight. I hear a pop and some metallic sounds. What now? I pull into a parking spot and my engine dies. Wonderful! Pop the hood and both accessory belts are tangled behind the crank pulley. Then I notice that those spinning belts just took out one of my crank angle sensors. Engine won't run now. Just another day in the life of a third gen.
