I flung it in an empty dumpster. I heard the biggest boom and it blew the back of the set. I NEVER saw a CRT implode like that. Back in the repair shop days, we junked a ton of sets and only got a small pffttt when we necked the tube.

Ditto on that. As a (reckless) teen I hauled a 32" Color CRT from an early 90s Toshiba television, with the help of friends, down to a bridge nearby which golf carts would use to drive over the river and dropped it off onto the sand below. It was a good 20 foot drop. The implosion sounded like a cannon firing and shook that sturdy bridge pretty well. Of what remained there was a shadow mask, yoke, and gun inside of a good sized crater of debris.

The potential is definitely there.
