Re:So what? (Score 1)

Because they said that somebody left the air compressor on unattended and left it at that. To most people this would be a perfectly rational explanation, but when I read it I have a lot more things come to mind, like why was the air compressor even connected to the water supply system of an occupied building? Before learning of this compressor, my thought was a leak in the basement or a loss of water pressure from the street which caused the water to drain out of the system as the system filled with air from open valves throughout the building as people left their sinks on while waiting for the water to come back. Then when the water pressure resumed it forced the air out with enough pressure to break the toilets. Not all nerds work in offices.
