When the 1st "BIG' CRT's came out ( 30-36" ") this story was going around.
A tot on the left coast was tapping the screen with something & it
imploded, BOOMPH !, sucked him up & killed him. It was said to be
an MGA
Meanwhile in N.J. the same thing hapend but was blamed on a Sharp.
Cant be sure but that was from reliable sources, but probably
urban legend.

When jugs blow they are unpredictable. To de- frag them cover it
with a blanket & break off the little glass teet on the socket.
But that kinda take the fun out of it...... Sound can be awsome
a BOOMPH or DUMPH with shrapnel flying everywhere, or just a hiss.
