Unhappy X5 4.4 died on startup

It sounds major to me... I started the car and it sounded like the engine ran in backwards??? I shut it down immediately and now it sounds like there is no compression. Does anybody here know if these engines can throw a timing chain?? Or can they actually start and run backwards before bending valves. I hate to think of the cost!!!

After leaving the X5 in the garage for two days,it wouldn't even crank,it was just clicking.We checked the battery and everything.It turned out it was a broken key.
