Room 1003 has window break, sprinkler goes off, floods half the building. Shit is all fucked up. Hall partially opening now. I'm lucky to be on floor 11.

Posting from phone. More to come as situation develops.

3/29/2009 11:19:18 AM

No idea what actually happened yet.... talked to one of the guys from suite 1003, but he basically just woke up to a face full of blackened sludge-water and really didn't know exactly what went down.

i remember when some dude threw a bunch of phone books down the trash chute in bowen and knocked a sprinkler head off and managed to clog the bottom of the chute with the books....that trash chute filled all the way to the 6th floor....now that was some crazy shit going down the stairs next to the chute and being able to hear the roar of the water coming out of those pipes....

I lived in AFC my 2nd freshmen year.

3/29/2009 1:27:23 PM

last time I was in sully (years ago) somebody threw a cigarette down the trash chute and caught the whole dumpster on fire, was an awesome feeling to hear the fire alarm, head toward the door, and see huge plumes of smoke billowing up from below

3/29/2009 1:38:13 PM

the shit that happens when i'm asleep

3/29/2009 1:49:35 PM

I lived in 1003 for 2 years

3/29/2009 1:50:55 PM

Update:

I don't know how much they've cleaned or anything. Or what happened with the window.
Bout to take a nap in my dry room though.

3/29/2009 2:07:56 PM

Someone knocked a sprinkler head off a couple floors above us when I lived in metcalf a few years ago. I generally didn't leave during the fire alarms, but I felt it prudent when I saw water leaking into our room.

3/29/2009 2:18:31 PM

the hallway had a nice echo in the Tri-Towers, so every now and then i would mimic the fire alarm with my mouth and people would come out of their rooms and shit lol

3/29/2009 2:19:25 PM

i think that shit woke me up a little earlier now that i think of it

3/29/2009 2:21:33 PM

^^ so it was like a fire alarm/brown noise hybrid?

Suite 1103 fall 03-fall 04. God those fucking 3-4am fire alarms sucked and going down 11 flights of stairs half asleep ftl.

3/29/2009 2:53:38 PM

i liked going down them better than going up them

3/29/2009 2:54:23 PM

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahah i know the guy who lives in the ROOM where this went off

3/29/2009 2:56:33 PM

true. There was always a shitton of people waiting for the elevator and usually only 1 was working so it was easier to just walk back up them. Then you had all the tards who would get on the elevator just to go to the 3rd floor.

3/29/2009 2:56:46 PM

dude on the baseball game said the firetrucks were still showing up

3/29/2009 6:22:52 PM

maybe this baseball game actually took place hours ago

3/29/2009 6:23:33 PM

Did they round up two of every vermin? Rats, mice, roaches, etc. You'll know it's safe to go back when the pigeon comes back with some crab grass in its beak.

3/29/2009 6:28:12 PM

This happened in Lee last year. Some guy was throwing a basketball in his room and knocked the sprinkler off the wall.

3/29/2009 6:33:51 PM

this happened when i lived in metcalf. a dude decided to call bullshit on the sprinkler and put a lighter up to it.

Well, it is in the master plan. Engineering firm I was working at was waiting for them to hurry up and do it because they had some utility work as part of the project that was gonna make em a nice bit of money.
