Some of the faster CD drives of years gone by could actually reach (or totally obliterate, in some cases) the physical limitations of the disc.

I remember one time in the early 2000s I was playing a PC game, and all of a sudden I heard this really loud explosion. It seriously sounded like a bomb going off it was so loud. I literally even got up and looked out the window to see if something had happened outside.

Then my game stopped working and said to insert the disc. I was like, "What? The disc is already in the drive." I opened the drive, and the disc had literally exploded into a million pieces.

I only ever had that happen that one time, but I remember it being a holy shit moment because I seriously thought a bomb had gone off outside. It was just my CD exploding in the drive though. That was so crazy.
