Default Something bad happened

So this morning after checking on my troubled banana plant I picked it up and decided it to move it to a sunnier part of the room. In the process, I tripped and dropped the pot and the mother plant's stem and a few of the pups on cracked in half.

One pup is still attached to the corm, is it still salvageable?

There was another pup I was able to split from the mother plant but I'm not sure if I did it correctly because I do not see any roots at the bottom, it just looks like a cane. Attached is a picture, can this one still be saved?

If you can look in the end of the pups bottom and all you see are rings then it was cut, or broke above the corm, if you see some solid white then part of the corm came with it. I have sprouted roots on these rootless pups with some corm attached in a glass of water. The mother should be salvageable.

Now that your banana is in the "proper light", don't touch it. Water sparingly and don't fertilize. You are allowed to watch the pot from a safe distance--2" if you keep your paws off. Seriously. This old gardener has lost many plants over the years; in hindsight I've come to realize that some of those might have survived if I'd just let them do their thing and not intervened--no matter how tempting.

Yes, do try to root whatever ever broke off as recommended by siege.

Hey GREAT NEWS, it seems the pups have sprouted roots. However I don't know if the roots are long or numerous enough for me to repot them in a pot. Attached is a photo of the pup with the longest roots, let me know what you think
