Glass does go though long term changes over time, though the flow of glass to the bottom in old windows is urban myth.
CRTs are under continuous high stress and will accumulate mechanical shocks over time. Scratches and imperfections in the glass can be sites of weakness where a CRT will start to fail.
With the multiple implosions, were they all close enough to each other that debris from one could have damaged another CRT etc?
Trevor is right, never work with a CRT without decent PPE. At the very least good eye protection. Long sleeves and high neck clothing are both a good idea. Going to A&E to have all the bits of glass removed will not be fun.
