It didn't happen in any CD drives that they looked at until they hooked up the CD directly to a Dremel like roto tool.. High rpm's shattered it.
Yup - saw that. Their conclusion was that the disk shattered because of the flexing it did - not because of any scratches.

That high-speed video they had replaying the waves the CD made before it broke was awsome!
