re: #58 Teukka

Not impressively, but with enough force for me to prefer long-sleeved protection gloves, leather apron and eye protection as PPE.
Also, the stuff inside was not that healthy.

My dad was a TV repair guy way back when. His preferred technique of shattering the CRT for disposal was:

1. Put it face down inside a cardboard box large enough to have the neck sticking up an inch or so.
2. Take a long broom handle.
3. Hunker down so your eyes are below the level of the top of the box.
4. Whack the neck with the broom handle until the seal is broken or the neck breaks.

I watched him do this from a safe distance once as a kid. That big old 27” tube made one hell of a noise when it imploded. CORRECTION: Now that I think about it, the tube did not shatter impressively, though the sound of the air rushing into the busted neck was pretty loud and sudden. The point of this method was to limit the chances of implosion.

The real danger is the recoil of the glass pieces after the implosion. Plus the insides were coated with lead and the screen with phosphors, none too healthy to breath in.
