Careful. Al-lew-minnie-yum will assplode if given the slightest provocation.
Maybe but maybe not. If the fork broke first, the wheel would go back, hit the DT, get spun sideways and having those spoke removed by the fork blade stub is quite possible. The fork crown also comes down on the wheel so those blade stubs are right there. (I can vouch for all of this.)
