Looking insde the drum I could see the glow or the element right before it caught fire, I can still see the element inside the drum and hear it scrap the drum as I manually turn it

Just wanted to be sure that you had not jumped to a conclusion.

When you reassemble it, put some high temp grease on the rear drum bearing assy.
Also be careful when you remove the grounding strap from the back of the drum bearing assy, it has a ball bearing in it which has an uncanny ability to find a hiding place once released.
