  The implosion incident with Super-Kamiokande happened in 2001. Repairs were completed in 2006.

    “HOLY FUCK, an IMplosion?!”

    One of these tubes – each of which contains a vacuum – is thought to have imploded as the detector was being refilled with water following maintenance work.

    I guess “vacuum tube crushed by water” needed a bit of punching up.

      It was a giant cascade of implosions. More than half of the tubes (7000+ tubes) imploded in a cascade. One popped which caused a shockwave which in turn imploded its neighbors which popped and set off their neighbors…

      Well yes, one imploded, but the shock wave created by that first implosion then shattered 6600 of them.
