Because the camshaft or the intermediate shaft (either of which can drive a 940 distributor depending on the distributor location) isn't turning. The distributor was probably stuck right between 1 and 2. If the cap was bad or even marginal, it could've caused multiple sparks between the closest terminals inside the cap.

The erratic noise when the engine cranks with a broken timing belt is indicative of the loss of compression in a couple of cylinders. Once you hear it once, you can usually diagnose a timing belt break without opening the cover.
