OP Headline says "liquid nitrogen" but the actual headline is "liquid nitrogen fertilizer." Huge difference.
"Liquid nitrogen" would probably have been close to harmless, except near where it was actually released; it would have just frozen sections of the river.
It is not the liquid nitrogen you are thinking of. It was either 28 or 32% nitrogen which I believe is made from urea and is very saline. I have used the 28% on my farm. It is roughly 3# of nitrogen in each gallon of suspension.
If this is liquid nitrogen. Nitrogen boils at about -340C, it would vaporize very quickly indeed if it was released into the wild.
What was released?

I would assume that liquid nitrogen fertiliser is frozen, what else could it be if its liquid? Another assumption is that its garbage journalism.
