Catastrophic front bearing failure - scary

The inner bearing was still intact upon inspection while the outer bearing was destroyed. However, it's inner shell is still jammed in the axle and doesn't want to come off.

I think it's going to have to be cut off. Anyone else ever have this happen?
Luck for me I just got off the turnpike and was at a stop light when it went...and of course, it started downpouring while I was getting it apart.
