As for me, I was just answering your thread title by recalling my own experiences. If it was called "help how do I repair my drive" I probably wouldn't have replied with that post

I've had disks with sand in them that didn't damage the drive, I've spilt cola in some that prevented it from even rotate, the drive choked but resumed operations right after and I've had 'El Condor Pasa' play for hours without killing the drive.
This is ridiculous.

Well yeah, this looks pretty weird, but I'm sure I've at least killed one PC drive with some weird disk. And yeah, I always try with IPA before chucking them out, so it's not like it always helps in 100 of the cases.
Looks like one of the disks might have disaligned the heads in all three drives, as amugasith suggests.
