ParticipantSome workers were bored and wanted to knock off early on a friday so decided to set off the sprinkler system… and wham the store is in bits…. 😀
Kinda funny really (although I’m sure its gona cost them/insurance company a hell of alot) but u’d think there would be some big red buttom somewhere that could shut it off once they realised there was no fire ?!?

ParticipantIt was a water main on the first floor that burst. It has utterly destroyed the interior of the corner part of the bldg, it is severly water-damaged. There was so much water that, when looking at the building yesterday, I could see large patches of water on the ceiling of the entrance porch outside, which is clad in stone! The cost is expected to be 2-3 million.

ParticipantHadn’t known about the burst pipe… got the sprinkler thing from today’s Indo:
“A MULTI-million euro clean-up is under way today after the accidental activation of water sprinklers yesterday flooded the country’s most exclusive department store…. It is believed the system was activated by workers doing renovations on the women’s fashion floor.”
