I hate seeing stuff like that. It scares the hell out of me knowing carbon can fail.

I wonder what cause the front wheel to lock up like that? The bent piece of steel could have been picked up by the wheel then thrown into the spoke causing first breakage to the fork? There's no way a rider can go over the bars like that unless something got into the spokes. Also, it it looked like the bike landed on the front wheel causing the whole thing to explode. the attached wheel to the fork blade got separated as soon as it hit the ground. the second impact might have finally broken it off completely. Notice the damage the steel bar make to the down tube.
