Did you read the note on that video before you posted your comment? He clearly spells out he accidentally broke the neck on the tube, which is why they went to town on the screen.

Yep.  Much toxicity in the tube.  There's a reason you have to recycle them.

Sounds like hot dog ingredients...

And, yeah - I agree with Chad on this one, those things are full of hazardous materials...

CRTs contain lead, phosphorous, cadmium, barium and mercury. All very toxic. That's why the law requires they be properly recycled.
