How can bad wheel bearings destroy a hub? Curious.

>From my vast worldly experience, id think that driving on bad wheel
bearings would run the risk of obliterating the bearing itself which
could, worse case scenerio, roll the wheel/hub/brake assy right off the
spindle of the car. 
(say, isnt that my wheel going down the road? and WHY do I hear this
_grinding_ niose?)

-OR-

The bearing siezes on the race and the wheel locks up. Either way, not
something id like to happen to me.
