Green Building Pumpkin Drop

 Last Sunday, there was a great event at the Green Building (MIT Bldg. 50). The 1W (Stickmen) hall at East Campus carried a bunch of LN2 filled pumpkins to the top of the massive brutalist tower and dropped them upon the pavement. The neat tradition continues to fascinate me. I wonder if any of the smaller pumpkins reach terminal velocity.
