Anyone hear the old myth that a CRT could implode if damaged?

I was helping someone take the garbage out at the thrift store. They accepted CRT TVs at the time (don't know their policy now) but we had one where the tube turned out to be dead. So, the guy I was working with picked up the TV with the back missing, and yeeted it into the dumpster while I was standing right next to it! I jumped away while ducking at the same time expecting a shower of flying glass everywhere....... but that didn't happen. What DID happen was just a whooshing sound of air filling the vacuum and that was it.

Furthermore, I saw one as a kid where the entire (assembled) TV was dropped. The case was cracked and it never worked again, but the tube didn't implode.

Now, I know the actual screen is pretty thick to be able to handle the vacuum in the first place, and I've heard of them surviving a lot more abuse than an unprotected LCD ever could.

Have any of you actually seen one violently shatter, more so than a regular glass thing? Did it take a deliberate effort to do so or was it something that could have reasonably happened by accident?
