Re: Nitrogen Tanks?

said by seaquake See Profile :

A coworker of mine just returned from NYC. She said she saw tall cylindrical objects on a couple of street corners, about 5' tall or so. They had "Nitrogen" painted on them in black letters.

Has anyone seen these things? Does anyone know what they are or what they are used for?

Thanks in advance.
You see theses all over NYC, the "phone company" uses them, but I have no idea what for..

BTW, my friend questions the safety of these if a car/truck were to hit one, the spray of liquid nitrogen could cause instant death or "burns" to anyone unfortunate enough to be in the path of the liquid...
