My brother and I used to remove the back from random TV sets (all B&W) in our alley in Chicago in the early 1970s, then throw rocks or brick chunks to bust the CRTs. One of them (perhaps a 90-degree CRT with more volume?) went "kaboom!" and we saw flying glass go past us from our safe spot around the corner of a garage.
