When the oil well blows they focused in on in on a pressure gauge clearly marked in "bar".
1bar =14.5 PSI. The gauge read about 2.5 bar or about 45 psi. That's a little above the water pressure in your house. Not enough to blow out any kind of piping.
They show the Nitroglycerin as a dark red liquid. It's a clear yellowish dense liquid.
They said it couldn't be transported by helicopter because the atmospheric pressure changes would set it off.
Notro is set off by physical shock or heating, not by small pressure changes. And the pressure change up in a helicopter is minimal. Of course you'd have to take off/land very gently.
