I don't know why ya'll miss the obvious:

The hose probably couldn't withstand the high temp (even Tygon can't), it weakened under the high heat, and the pump had an easy time bursting through it.

The lesson? Wire the pump to the PSU.
Pump was off and never got turned on, that's part of the mystery...

Could the water have boiled?(vapour pressure forms at boiling yes?), is the CPU oc'ed?, I'm wondering if it'd still be 'running' at 100~DegC?...
