Can't say I've ever seen liquid oxygen.

Mixed with Hydrogen we have.

It's amazing. Especially when you're trying to chill and prime a pump, and there's gallons of it flowing across it's own vapor in puddles.

Just try not and think about what happens if it flows across that oil spill and you step in it.

Why? What happens? Legit too lazy to try and strong arm Google into trying to tell me....

Oxygen loves hydrogen. Hydrocarbons have lots of hydrogen. Oil is hydrocarbon.

Add enough energy to start the chemical reaction, and BOOM. Along with all the things that go with exothermic and expansion reactions (ie, your foot gets blown off, and anything that can burn in the area likely will be)

Also, get things hot enough with oxygen around, and things you think can't burn, will. Including steel.

Look up oxygen compressor fires. It's scarily interesting.

That's...fun...and a bit spooky. Oxygen compressor fires...yeah, goddamn wow.
