      That is almost certainly water. It is absolutely not liquid nitrogen. I'm in Hong Kong, watching things up close. The protesters are very tenacious and persistent, but things aren't high-tech. They have a very similar range of tools to what one saw in Tahrir Square, Egypt etc.

      The badass protester in this video wrote me saying: “I have to say inside the bottle is just mud and I dig it under a tree. Liquid nitrogen will explode.” I apologize for sharing incorrect info originally. Please help get the right info out. https://twitter.com/PatriotCoburn/status/1168006395884519425/video/1 …

      It's the water that's doing the work. You can put sand to absorb heat. Or not. Or believe random claims of emails from protesters! I've been watching them use water for weeks. Rory, some things aren't best learned on Twitter. Please pick a field appropriate to your actual skills.

      The same guy who fell for liquid nitrogen got an unverified email from an alleged protester, and you pass that on as information. You don’t understand that the sand, if any, is irrelevant. Plus you have a weird document that’s allegedly describes hand signs that’s .. ridiculous.

          I’m sorry but I’m short on patience on people who are claiming to give security advice but are clearly not in a position to do so! I understand you think you are well-meaning, but there professions where you can avoid doing harm just by being well-meaning. This isn’t it.

          So do you just want to shout across Twitter or are you interested in actually talking about our experiences in a way conducive to drawing out best practices in a way useful to people here and elsewhere? Or are you assuming that you must have more experience than everyone else?

          A VIDEO THREAD: How did HK protesters use hand signals & human chains to get supplies quickly to front lines on Monday? Here, they need more helmets at the front line at LegCo doors. What to do? The hand signal for “helmets” is passed from the front line through the crowd... pic.twitter.com/hKWDaohpvf
