Somebody who is very very diligent, patient and lucky would probably be able find an AK post from about 18 mos. ago which was a scan of a 1955 article about the spontaneous implosion of the CRT in a very recent-model RCA table set.
I'm sure somebody remembers the picture of the set sitting in a corner of some poor woman's apartment with glass shards all about and noticable mangling to the chassis--plainly visible through the empty CRT surround.
The safety glass was blown out by the force IIRC, so how effective it really could be is debatable.
But that is, of course an isolated--if not unique--incident.
