Re: CRT implosion screens.
Yes, it showed all the signs of a severe explosion. The shadow mask used to be holed by lumps of funnel shooting through and if you were within 6 feet of the set you would be hit by glass for sure. Sometimes the shadow mask would fly out too and land on the floor. It was always the screen impact that did it. The nitrogen just made for a crazed area. One time I left it on for ages, see what would happen. Still nothing.
As my manager said after I said 'who is likely to swing a metal ball at it' that it represents anything from a child carrying something and falling against the screen to mishaps while transporting.
