So I'm talking about 100000s of CRT TVs
Makes me feel a little better about the 1987 vintage NEC 30" TV stored out in the garage with its temperature extremes for the last 12 years next to my 1988 S10 pickup truck. If that tube imploded like the OP, the truck would likely be totaled! I may still have to get that out of there just to be safe.
