The funny thing is that even after going through my rear window the TV was still intact!

Pro-tip: Never set a 32" CRT TV (HD or not) with the CRT facing the rear window in the back of a hatchback SUV, you'll more than likely bust out your rear window doing that when you're braking.
My friend and I were disposing a really dead Sony 36" Trinitron using his GMC Safari van and while we were driving he had to hit the brakes hard ( 'cause idiot driver cut him off), the Trinitron fell over in the back of the van and the tube broke! Glass was EVERYWHERE in the back half of the interior! Took us four hours to clean up the mess! Note to self: secure thy load!
