blasting start of the year

yesterday morning I went to my kitchen to have some water; since it was still a little dark I switched on the ceiling lamp.

At the same time I was switching it frizzeled and cracked very loud and with a bang the light flashed for a second, something popped out of the lamp and then it was quiet and dark again.


I realized the fuse was blown and after I had fixed that I could see what had come down:

The light bulb was exploded and charred and the bulb socket is still sticking in the holder in the lamp and I wonder how I can unscrew and remove it...
I am so glad and thankful that it didn't crash into my face or something.
Here you can see the difference between a new bulb and the grilled one...
