I just had my first CRT implosion the other day. Definitely treat any CRT with kid gloves.
I had a bad 12LP4 that I pulled from a Philco or Hallicrafters or some damn thing. Anyway, I've been boxing up CRTs to ship to Europe for my stay overseas. I set the bad 12LP4 on the lower rear patio, went upstairs to get the mail. I met my terrified Dachshunds on the stairs, and discovered broken glass all over the back yard, all over the patio, and shards of glass imbedded in the wooden deck above the patio. The doorwall was (surprisingly) unscathed.
Bottom line: be careful.
