i thought neutrinos were getting less attention because the huge japanese neutrino detector exploded

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.

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