- Description
A hydrogen leak occurred on one of the cylinders carried by a truck.
After the leak was stopped, the vehicle was escorted by the fire brigade and taken to a laboratory for inspection.[Note of the HIAD event validator: the source mentions liquid hydrogen in combination with the transportation of multiple cylinders: transportation of LH2 in multiple bottles has never been mentioned in the literature, this was very probably a compressed hydrogen releases, and it is classified as such].
