They finally cleared this scene at around 0300 wednesday morning. The trailer could not be offloaded, thus it was picked up by a crane and placed on a lowboy and secured. Radio traffic included phrases such as "it's an 80,000 pound bomb" and "at least you have front row seats" ;). I did some research on cryogenic alcohols, and lets just say they're lucky there wasnt a rupture and the refridgeration unit continued to cool because it would have been one amazing bleve.
