Apparently:


Water normally freezes below 32°F or 0°C forming ice crystals. Impurities in the water can activate the crystallization. The absence of these impurities in purified water keeps it in a liquid state below freezing point. Hitting it or touching the ice activates the crystallization, since it’s already at freezing point, instantly turning the water into ice.

Try it with a bottle of beer (Brill party trick) - 1:30 - 2 hours in the freezer,... bring it out, pop the cap off & tap it on the table - exactly the same thing happens. :)
