The day my Carboy BOMB Destroyed my basement

[LuckyRVA]

I once had a beer glass break on me. I had just filled the glass with some homebrew and when I set it on the counter it literally split into two perfect halves. It looked like some one sawed it in half right down the center. The glass just fell to the sides and the beer gushed out onto the counter.

Also my 6.5 gallon glass carboy manufactured in 1961 has been treating me well.

I've had this exact thing happen as well. It really did look like someone sawed it in half from top to bottom.

I also had a water pipe/hookah break in the same fashion. I was carrying it from the neck when the base bottom just broke off leaving a completely even break all around the bottom of the base (and glass all over my floor!). Very odd.
