Just as the title says, sadly, the monitor was smashed into dozen pieces. Lots of rust, but amazingly, the CRT looks to be intact!

If nothing is broken on the CRT - look closely at the neck - then it is probably good. Looking at the photo, it looks like there may be corrosion on the pins. I don't know how much of a problem that is.
If the high voltage transformer on the PCB works, then certainly someone could use it, although it probably needs capacitors replaced.
