Yeah. They're surprisingly strong when they're grouted together and joined to other barely attached tiles.
Problem is when one goes its enough for all of them to go in a usually destructive ways (and often from someone bracing themselves against it, my great aunt broke her ankle from half of a tile wall falling on her).

Coworker told me about the time he heard an explosion in the middle of the night, went to check it out and it was their tiles exploding. He told me that apparently they had been laid with a non flexible adhesive and once the weather changed significantly (or maybe it was cold air con blowing on hot tiles can't fully recall) the expansion and contraction or thermal shock just caused some of the them to start exploding. Had to get the whole floor ripped out and relaid.

There’s a video of this happening to a tile floor somewhere. It’s crazy they pop up like BAM
