  You didn't position your dvd properly. Lateral torsional, and radial forces can tear the disc to shreds. The disc being plastic underwent excessive deflection because you didn't position it properly. The plastic disc being inhomogenous and anisotropic doesn't undergo deformation nor cyclic failure, it just shatters. A good reason why road wheels aren't made of plastic.

  Really? It sounds like physics to you? It's all bu||sh|t to me.
  
  Then you suay lor , there are viruses that can burn out motherboards too, so your case isn't really special.
