Anyone ever had their rear window spontaneously blow out?

I was sitting at a traffic light a couple of hours ago when I heard a sound similar to a shotgun being discharged about 10 feet away and the rear window 'jigsawed' into hundreds of sections. It initially remained in place, but as soon as got out and shut the driver's door it began to implode.

Edits:

1. I ought to have said, "the exploding glass made a sound similar to...." I know what a pump action sounds like... if anyone shot at me, which I am now beginning to wonder about, it wasn't anything more than a pellet gun.

2. Anyone know if I am likely to find a rear window from a glass supplier? And cost? Or am I in for a visit to Uncle Merciless?
