What high voltage?

I had a hamburger (or was it hamberder) restaurant manager turning on a CRT in front of me to show it was dead.

I was there to assess the damages from a badly leaking roof and heavy rains during the night. Water was still pouring almost continuously on the screen, from the ceiling, as the guy pushed the button !

I stepped back 2 meters at that moment. I was the one in shock.
