Default Heater Core Exploded!!!

It was a crazy day....car started to get warm...noticed hose had backed off where it connects by the thermostat housing....fine....replaced hose and a few other hoses while i was at it. That did fine for an hour then all of a sudden driving down H1 and i hear SPSHSHSPSSSSSS my heater core exploded right while i was driving....pulled over took out the trusty set of pliers and flathead screwdriver and bypassed the heater all together... What fun a day can bring in an ED.....I love my crx
