    I am not buying that!!!! There had to be at least a superficial cut in the skin of the apple for it to break that cleanly.

    Each time you see the explosion, it appears to originate at one very specific spot along the edge. Perhaps a nick along the edge from when the CD was living it's normal life.

    The results can certainly be devastating when the over spun object has some mass to it. A quick search for "Flywheel Explosions" trans up some interesting eye opening events.
