The coolant fitting in this case broke as it was probably the weakest link once the pressure became too high because the water pump was not working since the alternator pulley sheared off.
I have yet to have someone tell me they have heard of an alternator pulley shearing off.

Did the alternator shear off -- or bolt back out?
I have seen the water pump shear off, and I have seen an idler pulley shear off twice.
No reason to believe an alternator couldn't
It's possible that the belt replaced was too small. We believe this was the cause of both idler pulley shears. I don't remember if the belt was the same brand or not.
