So over the years I've heard a few good stories about accidental (or
deliberate) Halon dumps and BRS pressings. Like operators playing Frisbee
in the machine room and discovering that the Halon button really, really
needs a cover on it...
Who else has stories to share?
A retired IBM engineer did some freelance consulting after retiring. He
told me about an incident in which a large-capacity, un-maintained Halon
tank ruptured. He said it moved nearly an entire data center wall
*three feet* from its original position. I'm certainly glad I wasn't in
the room; I like my eardrums just the way they are...
I think the moral of the story might be: Hydrotesting is cheap.
