Picking up the pieces of Super-Kamiokande

On Nov 12th as the tank of the SuperK detector was being refilled after routine maintenance, a shock wave calculated at 100 times greater than atmospheric pressure was triggered by the implosion of one weakened photomultiplier tube. In only five seconds the resulting chain reaction destroyed 6,665 P...
