lord loh. said:Why "Risk of implosion"? The shards should be pulled inside.... Why yould anyone near have any risk of injury? It is not an explosion....
Because the pieces don't magically 'disappear', they carry on moving so fly back out the opposite side. The implosion from a CRT can throw glass many tens of yards.
So an implosion is very little different from an explosion, in only varies in the actual mechanism in which it works.
