Tanker accident
Well... My understanding is that liquid nitrogen is not shipped under
(much)pressure. It is just shipped in a insulated container and is
constantly boiling off. I suppose if the tank's intergrity wasn't
compromised but the vent got damaged or plugged the whole thing could go
bang. Just a guess.

I just heard on New Hampshire Public Radio that Rt 89 was closed down because a
tanker filled with liquid nitrogen had gone off the road. The road was closed
because of the danger of explosion!
Sigh.....
