didnt you by any chance hit a pothole or bump at that time?

make sure collision/inertia switch isnt tripped and fuel pump is working. that's the soft whine or buzz you would hear for two seconds at key-on

then check for spark.

Heh... Good thinking!

Does the engine-cranking sound different, now? you know...r-r-r-r-r-r-r instead of -r-r-r, r-r-r-, r-r-r

lol

And JMAN reports it was indeed the timing belt, (in another thread)
