Wichita Beechcraft (Textron East Campus) suffered
a massive explosion that's being attributed to
a malfunction in a liquid nitrogen system
https://tinyurl.com/roo35fk

My brother-in-law who lives blocks from the facility
tells me it really rattled his house and shook the
ground.

Pictures in the links above show a massive energy
release that disassembled one end of Beechcraft
Plant III and damaged the building just south
which I think used to be a finishing (interiors
and exterior paint) facility.

Thankfully, only a hand full of holiday crews
were on site at the time. 15 injured of which
11 were transported . . . one was 'serious'.

I've never heard of a 'nitrogen' explosion not
involving an extothermic reaction . . . but I
don't think there was any combustion associated
with the event.

The news said something about a 4 inch gas main being breached by the nitrogen release.
