A smelting plant that likes to freeze, then melt, then freeze... Rinse and repeat?

lol

because they can! 8D

wut?

Terminator 2.

Quiet!

They'll find you!

Werewolf disposal.

Answer to all questions: the shadow government.

SHHH WE'RE NOT MEANT TO KNOW ABOUT THEM

Cause there's a terminator on the loose? o.o

To make the disposal of cyborg assassins from the future more convenient for the public.

OF COURSE! It's all so clear now!

are we talking about T2 ?

oh look i'm late to the party

I dunno, but places like that are oddly beautiful when all lit up in the dark of night.

oh fuck its umbrella, do something!

Terminator 2 I take it?

The liquid nitrogen truck was headed to Cyberdyne for use in their server rooms on their super computers.

The smelting plant was open late at night due to a rush contract from a supplier who had a major order placed from a large overseas company for a massive construction project.

Well, it's obvious - they manufacture Plot Devices there!

Any large industrial plant runs at night time because electricity is cheaper then.

Dues Ex Machina?

i don't know but sounds like an awesome level for a video game.

A lot of manufacturing and especially processing plants run through the night because shutting down the plant would be impractical or even impossible to do every night, so it wouldn't be unusual to find the steel mill full of molten steel no matter the time of day.

I know of many metal processing and smelting plants in my area that are open 24 hours a day. Not that uncommon as production facilities are open 24 hours a day as well needing constant materials. Liquid nitrogen is also used in the smelting process of steel.

I have not seen the movie in a while but I thought I saw them take a turn off the highway to a smaller road that led to the smelting plant. They did bust through a gate as well to go into the factory.

<--Killjoy!

Do not question these stories ;3

FOR SCIENCE!

Steel mills are running 24 hours per day, seven days per week nonstop. Shutting down a steel mill is a multiday process, and the startup takes several days and costs millions of dollars extra. friend of mine worked at a mill that ran a continuous slab caster. they had one scheduled shutdown per year, starting the middle of December and and extending to mid-January. All major maintainence tasks were deferred until then.



LN2 is just another cargo delivered by tanker truck. It is often delivered in bulk at night or on weekends to customers because of the awkwardness of driving a tractor-trailer full of hazardous material through the parking lot full of employee cars.

I have no idea what you're talking about.... but...

You can't let furnaces go out. They have to run forever after you start them up. If they shut down, steel (or whatever you're making) will solidify into the mechanism, which deforms the shape so it can't be started again.

Metal plants like that usually run 24/7 or run during the night when electricity is cheaper during off hours. The former kind do so because it costs a lot of money to shut down and start up. The latter are usually using arc furnaces or such, equivalent power to thousands of households and save a lot by not running during peak times.

And if you work at a national lab or research university, you see truck fulls of liquid nitrogen come by every day for delivery, and sometimes at odd hours for various reasons.

Because it's fuuuuuuuun!

That movie never made any sense to me either. Even if it had AH-nold in it. XD

Yay! I'm not the only one that got it. XD

let me guess... terminator 2?

also heres a vid ya should check

also about the questions, its hollywood dude, they build suspense without caring how is it possible

How else were they suppose to freeze and melt the Terminator??

It's James Cameron. He never was one for logic or good storytelling - just a line of "awesome" scenes strung together by a loose plot.

'Cause they wanted to freeze crap and throw it against the walls! The only benefits smelting workers get for working late at night next to a highway. :3

I PLEAD THE WOOKIE

Hmm, wait an hour...that's fishy 0.o

It's called "Oh fuck, this films been going on for 2 hours! How the hell are we going to end it?"
...or convenience... ¬.¬

Liquid Nitrogen trucks are not hard to find. I see them almost every day because I live near a place that makes it and ships it. If you see a tanker truck with a hazmat number of "1977" on it, then it has liquid nitrogen. A lot of businesses use liquid nitrogen, some need it cold. some heat it back up and use the gas.

Smelters usually run 24/7 because it can take days to start up/shut down the production process.

Hang on a second *fires blaster*

Because the steel mills aren't shut down; they can't be.
They have around the clock shifts.

The T1000 also has this secret power of being able to change the type of helicopter he's flying between shots.
