Is it raining?

When you own and operate a business you have the responsibility to always protect your employees and customers. One of the ways this is done is by installing a sprinkler system in case of a fire.  For the most part sprinklers are the best defense against the fire allowing precious moments for people to escape until the fire department can get on site and begin the work. What happens when the sprinkler system malfunctions? This is exactly the case that this picture shows. There was a software glitch that set off the sprinkler system overnight. Thankfully no one was in the building at the time and there were no reported injuries. As you can see the ceiling itself collapsed under the weight from the built up water.
