When I worked at a TV shop in the late 70’s early 80’s rebuilding trade-ins was a large part of my job. Once a month the garbage man would reserve some room for us to dispose of dud CRTs. I would snap the neck with a large wrench before removing the tubes from there cabinets. One day as my partner and I were sliding the tubes into the garbage truck I shouted “LIVE ONE”. My partner and I pulled the garbage truck driver to ground. KaBlaam! That live FJP took out three other tubes when it landed in the bottom of the truck. The truck driver looked like a deer in the headlights when we all stood up. The guy had no idea of the implosive power of a CRT. Doogie
