the CD may have had microscopic cracks in it and when the centripetal force of the spinning of the drive was applied, it produced
fractures on the cracks, and made them get bigger until the whole disc just gave way.
If this is happening repeatedly, then replace the LG drive with another one.

I think it has been answered above, but I'm just wanted to summarize. Some of the drives can spin the CDs at very high speeds. And if your CD has scratches or cracks, high spinning speed of the drive can shatter the CD in pieces. Its like on a roller coaster, when you go down and then quickly up, you can feel the g forces. So in a since this is what happens to the cd, but at much higher speed. So when the cd has cracks, the cd becomes an "unstable structure" and breaks apart.

Heat. Sometimes my CD's come out very hot and I think this may make them brittle after time. This is the only logical reasoning I can find for this question. On the other hand...the CD may have come loose from the drive at a high rate of speed and shattered, but you would have hear a noise if that was the case. If I had to guess, I would say it is the heat. Mine get very hot in the drive, but I havent broken any yet!

I feel like telling you a story. One day I withdrew a library book from the library, it came with a CD, when I popped the CD into my CD drive (which never had any problems with any of my other Cd's) the CD shattered, leaving shards in the drive. This rendered the drive unworkable till I had fished out all the plastic pieces. Later told story to librarian, saying the CD was old and cracked before.
My CD drive has never broken another CD as long as I have had it.
Therefore I believe age and prior cracks and misuse is the culprit there.

This does happen every now and then. You know how the 52X drives achieve their 52X? By spinning the drive at 52X the normal speed of around 350 RPM (it varies, but I won't go there).
So... if 1X = 350 RPM, then 52X = 18,200 RPM. That's why when you insert a disk, you'll hear it take a few seconds to spin up to speed.
Well, some CD's will suffer a mechanical failure at those spin rates.
Check out some of the videos here and you'll understand.

What makes a difference here is the circle in the center of the CD.
Thats where the spindle elevates the CD and then it spins. What I believe is that there is a very high probability of developing microscopic cracks at the center because thats where the CD's are mostly caught from. Hence , its at this point where all the damage happens.
Always inspect casually before inserting the disk.

Now it relies upon on the place you're on your evolution. this could be an earth shattering journey, to the place your sight turns inwards, far off from concentration outward and for this reason is an danger to renowned the source of you, that may not be got here across interior the meditated image of the replicate.

Is your name Ethan Hunt by any chance? No? Ok, well since that's not the case, if the cd had a fracture, spinning at high speeds like that is probably what happened. Even if it was a small fracture, those things spin so fast it'd be enough to rip 'em apart.

I've heard of this happening, but not for a long time. Either the CD had a crack that you didn't see, or the speed control on the CD drive, went haywire.

depends how long you've had the drive, some drives last 5-7 years while others less then they damage you cds after being over warn.
OR THE CDS Cheap quality in itself.
