Pouring liquid nitrogen gone wrong

I hate to say that I knew all along that the tray wouldn't be able to handle it.

Bare hands, sneakers & liquid nitrogen? A Darwin Award is your future.
-
-
that's like in a cartoon when they spill acid and it melts a hole in the ground
-
They always write the max temperature on those things, never the minimal temperature.
-
-
The lack of safety and safety equipment is not good at all or smart!
-
that was insanely dangerous, you both could have been scarred for life.
-
Quietly leaves room, building, block...

Only nile would break his floor and say "well we did some science -ThiS lOokS LiKE It cOuLd bE FiXEd wITh SomE TaPe 😆"

RIP Nigel's floor
-
no gloves?
no safety glasses?
no clue?
alrighty ...

I am a plastic research guy... Generally, most of the plastics that we use in our daily household or workplace have flexibility at room temperature. Some plastics like PP, HDPE also has crystallinity due to which they are tough and long lasting.
Coming to flexibility of these plastic container/buckets/treys, it comes from their segmental mobility upon stretching. When such plastics were kept frozen for long time in a deep freezer they tend to become too hard and lose their flexibility due to a lack of segmental mobility. When it comes to pouring liquid nitrogen into those buckets you are instantly freezing the polymer chains and they are becoming a glassy material at cryogenic temperature eventually breaking. This is a very good demonstration for students as well, particularly to explain why you should not use a plastic cup to take liquid nitrogen. -
This was one of the funniest moments I've ever seen on the channel. I remember cracking up watching the original video and this extended cut is so funny. Thanks for posting this LOL
-
The tray has great comedic timing
-
This is evidence of why liquid nitrogen is not available at Walmart stores but it seems it is still too easy for some to get a hold of.
-
There was absolutely no science on display here
-
Bare hands and liquid nitrogen always go well together!
-
Nile found a new way to demo without a jackhammer.
-
Cue "Sad Trombone" sound effect- "Bwah-bwah-bwaaaah"!
