That guy just doesnt know what he is looking at.
As discussed in the thread, a poor quality pack is a huge threat to the life of the esc and that is a fact. That is not to say that the Zippy pack was the cause. There was likely something else leading to the disaster. The fact that the car "seized" during a straight means something more serious. Whatever the cause, these "1 in 1000" scenarios are bound to pop up more often as more escs are sold.
