The phosphor will blow away even in color CRTs if the air inrush is massive enough to create a violent jet stream inside the CRT, this can easily happen if the neck is swiped clear off instead of being only partially cracked or broken on its sides.

Also the electron gun or parts of it can become a projectile inside the CRT and punch a hole in the shadow mask and phosphors
