Self-destructing HV rectifier tube

Got a 1968 Magnavox color the other day. I noticed it had no hv, so I opened up the hv cage and saw the rectifier tube was in half. I replaced it and hv came up with no issues. My question is, how does this happen? Perhaps some major arcing inside the tube? Maybe a factory defect? What is your thinking? BTW, the tube is a 3CU3.
