I'll be sure to post the mechanic's findings, after the "post mortem"!

Thanks for all your suggestions!!!!

So your theoretical failure scenario is: Belts come off; engine is somehow
deficient on the bottom end; warning lights don't work; engine seizes before
coolant blows?
I don't doubt it could happen. Sounds like a version of "Titanic syndrome".
