While standing around the multipurpose/kitchen/game room at work today, a pipe burst from the ceiling and sprayed an insane amount of gray chemical smelling water at us. We heard a loud bang type sound and then high pressure water started spraying through the roof tiles, it kept getting stronger and its reach kept getting further till it hit the projector we have mounted from the ceiling (2 week old, 5000$ dollar projector, dead). Once the water got near the projector we ran the hell out of there in fear for our lives, someone pulled the fire alarm because we weren't sure if it was fuel coming out of there, and the whole building was evacuated. Once it was confirmed that it was not a fire hazard we went back in. The room was wrecked and had like 2 inches of water, the LCD projector is toast, as is our ping pong table which was right under the pipe, someone said the 42' HDTV fried, the XBOX 360 had gotten the red ring of death 2 days before so no loss there, and the PS3 is not wet so we think it's okay.

It turns out it was a pipe from the fire suppression system, hence the chemical smell. In conclusion it was a crazy day, and we are all glad it wasn't a flammable fluid which could have killed us.

Clean up in progess

There's the HDTV back there
