DENVER - A sprinkler system partially flooded part of the Pepsi Center Monday morning.
The Denver Fire Department, which has a crew stationed at the center all week, was able to respond quickly before 5 a.m. when the sprinkler went off.
The sprinkler was located on the club level in a skybox which had recently been renovated to host a news crew. It appears the skybox belongs to Fox.
After going off, the sprinkler released 50 to 100 gallons of water per minute and 9NEWS crews estimate it was on for around 5 minutes.
The cause of the sprinkler is under investigation but early reports indicate it was likely bumped or the heat sensor may have been affected by equipment in the room.
Water leaked down to the first level concourse and crews are mopping up that area. A significant amount of water filled the club level and DFD used shop vacuums to remove the excess water.
All of the equipment in the skybox had to be removed quickly due to the possible electrical issues. No one was injured.
Karma strikes Fox News at Denver.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Obviously an act of sabotage carried out by left-wing terrorist plumbers determined to silence the Fair and Balanced voice of Fox so the American people will have no idea what is really going on at Barack Hussein Obama's Communist Muslim love-fest.

I didn't think it was worth posting in the real forums at the time considering there's didn't seem to be a whole lot to discuss about it.Edi wrote:Posting news articles in Testing does not count for the purposes of the N&P forum, given how 99% of Testing content is worthless spam.Lonestar wrote:Already posted

I was hoping for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. After all, they've been searching for them for so long that it's only fair they get to find it.
Turns out that a five way cross over between It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Ali G Show, Fargo, Idiocracy and Veep is a lot less funny when you're actually living in it.

Well oxydane is colorless, odorless, an asphyxiant in large doses, it's gaseous form causes burns to skin and lungs, it's an industrial solvent and coolant, and ingestion causes excessive urination and loss of thirst. Clearly, the loony-left fringe has become so desperate to silence the Voice of Freedom as to use this dreadful chemical weapon, supplied by the Iraqi terrorists at great expense to themselves.
