WTF Rear brake, massive failure, freeway.

I was about 5 miles from home and slowing in freeway traffic when I heard a huge
bang and my brake pedal shot my right foot/leg off it.
I pull over to find parts broken, bent or missing.
I assume the bolt that fastens the drum to the small swing arm sheared cuz
the nut didn't back out with a cotterpin in place.

Anywho. Yeah. Lots of broken, bent and missing parts. No rear brake.
I used an old grocery bag to tie the odds and ends up to the main swingarm and
off the tire. Then hobbled piccolo home.
Didn't put this in troubleshooting cuz I know what I gotta do and I have a fair
amount of junk parts.

Just wanted to share the pull over and
Will post pics tomorrow if anyone is interested.
Getting right now
