Burned Armature on DC Motor

Just for the sake of conversation, check this out!!! This armature is beyond burned, it's actually an exploded motor armature.

Let me guess, it's beyond repair?

Did the motor catch fire?

Looks like a little too much heat on the armature. Why didn't the thermistors warn the drive of the excessive heat. It seems like a motor that size should have adequate protection. Motor thermistors are there so that this doesn't happen. (so I thought)
