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.
Timing belt?
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)
