Assuming it was an unopened can, freezing it could cause the can to 'explode' . You see it happen with drink cans a lot because of the thinner material and the carbonation in lots of drinks but it can happen with any sealed liquids without room to expand.

this was back in the day when booti killed a few every year
many things were different, back then they said the children are the future
we were so clever with computers and stuff
nobody says that anymore, kids are dum as rocks

That video was really cool. I knew ice expansion was strong but I didn't know it took so little. And the remaining water interacting with the LN2 was awesome too
