Holy hell, that got super destroyed fast! I was expecting fire suppression systems to kick in, but massive destruction kicked in first.

They got out just in time. I'm guessing the molten aluminium spraying up at the ceiling was setting the roof tiles on fire.

I'm surprised they didn't have one given how apparently dangerous the stuff they're working with is.

In fairness, I'm not sure how much a fire suppression system could do there. All that molten aluminium has enormous thermal mass, so it can't be cooled easily and cutting off oxygen won't make it cool any quicker.

oh is that what the fluid was? i thought it was hydraulic or something

[ - ] Broc_Liath 3 points 2.9 yearsJun 8, 2022 20:58:42 ago (+3/-0)

Well, judging how everything it's touching is going on fire I think it's the aluminium.

It looks like a giant screw injector for melting aluminium powder and forcing it through the extrusion mold.

Could also be hydraulic fluid getting aerosolized enough that the molten aluminum made it light off. Combine it with what appears to be a drop ceiling and you have a recipe for a shit-ton of fire in a hurry.

Hmmm, good point, could be.

Probably just had the stupid kind that starts squirting water just after it's way too late.

I bet there was one but just was taken out too fast to do anything.

That's one robust security camera

[ - ] TheGreatWhiteHope 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 9, 2022 03:00:40 ago (+0/-0)

The phone escaped the fire and is unharmed.

Guess they get a vacation

In the next meeting:

I told you the sprinkler system was a waste of the budget.

Hate it when that happens.

On Reddit there'd be at least one good explanation of what went wrong, with follow up replies to further questions. As well as a bunch of comments by faggots making it about them.

On talk it's a bunch of slack jawed yokels pointing and exclaiming "Well gee shucks".

[ - ] voater 5 points 2.9 yearsJun 8, 2022 20:44:13 ago (+5/-0)

Well go there and mingle with your trannie friends then, faggot

I'll say Hi to your Dad when I see him. Hope the menstrual cramps get better soon.

At least on talk you aren't funneled into ever decreasing acceptable discussions. Soon you won't be able to post this on reddit as the mods are taken over and not allowed to show any "cis" gendered white males.

The building was apparently made out of old newspapers soaked in gasoline! Shit fell apart in a hurry!

[ - ] ItsOk2bArian 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 9, 2022 01:48:37 ago (+0/-0)

Did I see that right? Did that fucking moron run back to his desk for his phone as molten aluminum was spewing from the machine? Somehow this was that assholes fault

[ - ] TerryB 1 point 2.9 yearsJun 9, 2022 03:40:14 ago (+1/-0)

He starts to make a phone call so probably the way they can talk to management?

The AGIA 'engineer' who built this piece of shit also failed by using water based hydraulic fluid instead of oil based.

[ - ] jigganiggaboo 0 points 2.9 yearsJun 9, 2022 03:23:28 ago (+0/-0)

Is it molten aluminium or hydraulic fluid? That's insane how quickly that entire place was destroyed within seconds
