A thermite charge was set up in a brick crucible and activated with a 12 volts filament. The charge more or less exploded. This Panasonic CRT TV glass was pretty strong and survived the initial thermal stress, but was destressed and vented when cold water was applied to the hotspot. A slow motion of 2 events is at the end of the video. Caution !! This is a dangerous experiment and appropriate safety measures need to be in place.
