Abstract
Some recent results on blowup of classical solutions to hyperbolic systems or equations are presented. Emphasis is put on the description of the mechanism, which can be given for some semilinear cases or for cases in one space dimension. For higher dimensions, only asymptotic results have been obtained so far.
