Pulling into work, heard a nice knock and crunch come from the front driver side wheel. Turned the wheel and I see this

I contacted BMR since that's where I bought the front end links from. They asked me what that metal piece was hanging by the end link. I wasnt able to get under the car since I was at work so I drove home.It was pouring rain so I wasn't able to put it up on a jack and remove the wheel. Took some pics and this is what it looked like from the front.

I'm just confused, if the sway bar did snap, which looks to be the case, how did the end link unscrew itself from the rod? And if the Sway Bar did snap, why is said screw still hanging on by the Sway Bar and not sitting in the End Link?

2011 Camaro SS LS3
