Something is weird about the translation, it talks about the sound of the fire alarm system destroying hard drives, but then includes this quote:
"The cause of the hardware failures is because of the fire extinguishing system that uses an explosion to consume all available oxygen."
Did Michael Bay invent this fire extinguishing system? Seems like a not so helpful way to put out a fire.
- chousuke 8y agoThe original Finnish article indeed does not talk about explosions. I don't actually know the technical term in English, but it's a mechanism that causes a fast discharge of gas that displaces oxygen to put out the fire
- scottie_m 8y agoThat is how oil well fires can be extinguished actually, but it’s hard to imagine this being an option in a building. More likely this is a form of Halon system, using displacement rather than shockwaves and consumption of free oxygen
