I think the preheated water has cooled by now so it has contracted leaving a vacuum to suck the glass away from the cast iron. That should protect the water.

That works okay, but it's best to freeze the water in the water heater
so it doesn't jostle around when transported. You can take it to a
wholesale meat market or a similar place and they'll freeze it for you.

Cmon, man it's a hot water heater. Not a water cooler, get with the program.

Better yet, it's just a water heater. If the water was already hot, you
wouldn't need a heater.

I'll show myself out. :-)
