I've been brewing for 12 years and have never seen (or heard) of this actually happening.

And of course it had to happen at 4:30AM... What a friggin mess!

So your blowoff tube clogged and the pressure built until it exploded the carboy?

Oh man, and that's carpet too....
You must have had a bit of a fault or something going on with your carboy... was it a 6.5 gal acid carboy? if so, what a shame!
Sorry brotha,
And bug, you never cease to amaze with your pictorial contributions.
