I have intentionally imploded many CRTs but i also had one implode accidentally on me.
It was a mid 60s 23" B/W tabletop set with a bonded lens CRT i had when i was a kid, it was an European style set with a push-through screen so it was very front heavy, it toppled off my outdoor bench while i was unscrewing the back panel to fix it.
The shockwave was so loud it roared all over the neighborhood and scared the crap out of my parents.
Luckily the back panel was still on and the bonded safety lens did its job so the implosion remained 100% confined inside the set.
The set's speaker was totally shredded by the implosion!
