Albeit the damage of pure N2 exposure proved fatal in the STS incident I found
it amazing their heart had kept beating (and maybe their breathing as well?)
for so long after their extraction to air.
As to the Scaled Composites cold flow fatalities due to N2O exposure (page 4):
did they perform that test inside a non-ventilated compound as if it were LOX?
