No. There are many things that have to happen to blow an engine in this manner. Your engine went out of time as soon as your chain broke and this will sometimes sound like it blew sky high. Replace the timing chain and get it timed and it should be ok.

i HAVE A 98 AND THE BELT BROKE TWICE AND DID NO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. The first time I was on freeway doing 75 and it broke. I have a '97 Contour and had no damage to the engine when my timing belt broke. Make sure you check your pulleys to ensure that the bearings are good. Mine were not and had to replace them.
