I used to walk to school (in the 1950s) beside a canal in Bristol (UK).
There was a girder footbridge over this canal, and small kids had
somehow acquired duff CRTs and would carry them half across this bridge
in order to watch them smash into the water. Happy to say I never
actually saw a child burst one on the girders...
