That\'s pretty bad luck. I wonder if she will sue the TV manufacturer?

How the hell can a TV explode lol.  I know there\'s a huge suction in the CRT (why most screends are curved rather than flat) so it was probably a cheaply-made Chinese or Korean TV, but still...

Doesn\'t sound right. THX has a point - TVs have a negative pressure in the screen....the glass would implode. Sounds like a pipe bomb Daddy left on top of the TV got hot and blew up. ;)

If this story WAS true, it would be the FIRST reported television explosion.  And no, it would most likely not spray glass everywhere.
This story is a crock.

Well, apperantly, she was in her toxin-free bubble, where she\'s isolated from anything and everything that could harm her in any what humanly possible, when her anal-retentive, soccer mom went shopping, absolutely neglecting the child, and in turn, something as evil as this happening inside the bubble.
