Fun With Liquid Nitrogen
Channeling their inner Bill Nye, a group of curious University of Arkansas students blew up three bottles with liquid nitrogen in the middle of campus, the Arkansas Traveler reports. Though there were apparently no injuries or property damage, university police arrested one of the students for criminal use of a prohibited weapon, a class D felony.
Apparently, liquid nitrogen bombs have caused accidental injuries in the past—the explosion can "tear up anything within 6 to 8 feet," and if filled with gravel or sticks, can send shrapnel up to 25 feet away. Who knew? "I never would have done it if I thought it would end like this," the arrested student told the paper.
