My coworker was taking something from shelf and

snagged a line cord belonging to the 13" tv sitting on top shelf 9

cement floor dead center on it's face with a glassine shrill "BOOM!"
Opened it up, yoke & neck went through inside the CRT leaving huge
jagged hole where flare used to be and only mark on face is scratch
marks.
Don't forget that the scan coils are a big heavy assembly with lots of
copper and ferrite, and they're only held in place because they're glued
to a glass tube about the diameter of but with thinner walls than a
large test tube.
