as it ever happen to you ??
What you have described would require the passing of very high current and a direct short in a circuit with no fuse protection between the alternator and battery. Have any extra wires been attached other than the original wires as came with the car? Has someone fitted extra wires as per the "alternator upgrade" as often is wrongly recommended.
