This does not (necessarily) mean the database was bombed.

The reason for the header only displaying would be because a PHP error
occurred somewhere between the header and the footer, making PHP the one
that bombed out.

Because PHP errors are most likely not displayed publicly on your
server, check your web server error log to see if PHP output any errors
in there. (If you run your own server, make sure the 'error_log' PHP
setting is 'On'.)
