An officer then allegedly pulled a sealed emergency release button that shut the MRI machine down, deactivating it, evaporating thousands of liters of helium gas and damaging the machine in the process. The officer then grabbed his rifle and left the room, leaving behind a magazine filled with bullets on the office floor, according to the lawsuit.

Had no idea they even contained that much, although I'm guessing it's compressed. Also, what dipshit, too embarrassed and stubborn to ask someone there to get it off properly.

Fun fact - basically the only source of helium is radionuclear decay in i want to say granite, and it's a completely non-renewable resource on human time scales.

And we pump it into balloons lol

We have heaps of recoverable helium, enough for hundreds of years.

The real issue will be economically recovering helium when huge gas fields are no longer a thing.
