Teen injured drinking liquid nitrogen

By abc7NY
PRINCETON, N.J. The class was part of a program run by the Summer Institute for the Gifted, based in Stamford, Conn. It isn't affiliated with the university.

The students were performing a popular experiment in which liquid nitrogen is used to make ice cream.

Nitrogen liquefies at negative 328 degrees Fahrenheit -- cold enough to cause burns.

The Summer Institute says the boy was in critical condition and has been upgraded to stable.
