Ok, so the whole event occupied how many frames? 3 or 4? ;) 

I lost count of who many picture tubes I imploded down in that gulley. It 
contained the shrapnel rather effectively, so that's why I did it so often! The 
fact that I lived in a 58 unit apartment bldg, and my Dad was the 
Superintendent, meant I had unlimited & unrestricted access to the building's trash 
compactor room. This was in the early 70's, and plenty of old TV's gt discarded along 
the way!

The best part was hearing the echo of that "boom" coming back from the 
neighborhood! To a 12 year-old... What fun!!
