Did you notice that car was only 6ish years old but had 202k miles on it already? That's well over 30k a year....sounds like they did not maintain the car properly. That flex disc's rubber looked very dry and baked like it spend a lot of time in a really hot/dry climate. Not surprising it failed under those circumstances.
