It was a manual release button, when those are pressed you shouldn't even be near the area anymore

@@FireTech7 But they should still set off some sort of alarm for situations just like this

@@specialopsdave they have these things called stoppers that are plastic covers that go over the devices, works pretty well

This happened at least 4 years ago. My guess is they still had halon in the system and didnt replace the tanks when the law changed.

You're likely correct. Because Suffocation is a real hazard with Halon not to mention: what if you're in a location larger than what appears on this video? What if you find yourself in a situation where'd any spontaneous combustion or other event occurred and your exits were blocked for some unforseen reason OR an accidental discharge such as this were to occur? You'd need an equally effective alternative that does not place human life at risk hence the FM-200.

Halon systems are still widely used in many places, including the US. In the mid 90s the manufacturing of Halon was banned however there are absolutely no laws restricting the use of Halon and Halon suppression systems.

Lots of halon suppression systems are still out there.

@@mattypants You are correct. Systems that were installed before the ban are definitely still in place. After they have been triggered, though, they won't be recharging them with Halon.

Usually it’s a pull station, and some times when it is a button it’s covered by glass or other material to prevents accidental discharge of the fire suppression system, I think it was the ‘Abort’ Button, but most of the time you must Hold the button for a period of time example 3 seconds etc, and the reason of the system not discharging may have been because the person did not hold the discharge abort button but instead pushed it.

This was a malfunction causing it to set off without warning and brometriflouromethane (halon) can kill you nearly instantaneously so theres no running unless you hear that alarm

Yep, there told to leg it. It’s most likely FM200, witch is a highly toxic gas, witch will kill you in 1 or 2 breaths.

@@Club_vibes69 FM200 is non toxic, are you thinking of a different gas?

Displaces the air.

It sucks out nothing. It DISPLACES the air.

Yeah what the hell is that? why are there so many people going in and out of that room? it's a server room, hardly anyone should've been in there most servers are remote.

@@StephenFasciani This looks more like a restaurant's kitchen than a datacenter to be honnest. What the hell is going on there?

Same here haha. I’ve been hooked on these videos thanks to T2

Resident evil brought me here

Movies like that has led to people believing halon will kill you, it's 100% safe and you can enter a room with halon system going off. It's Hollywood, they are run by left-winger nitwits, they don't know shit. I've been in IT for 25 years and have seen them go off, and everybody was fine.

wtf are the chances 😂

No, that would be a dumbass engineering faux pas

@@arthaburd3524 Pretty sure he's talking about the Auschwitz.

They don't lock, but all doors that access a protected area are supposed to automatically close after being opened.

Actually you are correct 👍 but only in places like power plants (nuclear). Bassicly sacrificing everyone inside to protect everyone outside

White sus

It was the guy in the blue shirt

There is a manual emergency pull trigger like a fire alarm. I remember this well when we got our halon system at my old datacenter job. Guy was very explicit about not touching that unless we could see clear fire and the alarms havent gone off.

Usually when triggered by "cross-zoning" with detectors; but in most situations systems will immediately discharge upon manual actuation.

Some don't give you a 60 second timer to get out of the room, Sometimes they give you no time at all, And it immediately opens, But (Glady noone was harmed in this video, Halon was banned so they put 200 thing in there and noone was harmed.)

HE PULLED THE SUPRESSION MANUEL RELEASE BUTTON

Doctor Goop that was why

the "button" you speak of was the abort button not a activation buttton

Halon does not cause Asphyxiation. Halon doesn't "suck out the oxygen" like everyone thinks it does. I've personally been exposed to in in a small water tight compartment. And other than the how loud it was the only way someone can get injured from it is by freezing skin if you're too close to the nozzle.

@@nukeboy27 Bromochlorodifluoromethane and bromotrifluoromethane can displace the local atmosphere - therefore in fact - a risk of asphyxiation. ----- "The health risks for halon extinguishers include asphyxiation, frostbite burns to the skin, as well as skin and eye irritation. Inhaling halon compounds in high concentrations can cause central nervous system disorders including dizziness, unconsciousness and tingling in the arms and legs. Exposure to halon compounds may also cause cardiac sensitization resulting in irregular heartbeats and even heart attacks (in a severe circumstances)." = Your comments are the result of IGNORANCE - 'Profesor Small Watertight Container'. There ae also hazardous byproduct produced from the halon interaction with the flame - BUT - probably betting than burning to death if you can get out of the area.

Lol, Halon 1301 systems are harmless and can be refilled. Most companies use FM-200 and Novec 1230 which are also harmless. Some of the first Halon systems could kill but they were banned in 1994. Newer halon systems simply prevent oxygen from reacting with a fuel source to create a fire, making them much safer for occupants.

Thank God they don't use Halon anymore am I right or am I right

@@frumpycrust if you stand in it for about 5 minutes. Other than that no.

@@ImachowderheadNo. They're not harmless, they displace oxygen and act as a simple asphyxiate, so you can still suffocate if you stay in the room.

LOL

New vaping vaping is bad for you screw vaping

I imagine he may have thought it was a button for the exit. We have those at my office, too, in case you need to evacuate and don't have a badge. Some places make it common to just push the button when exiting instead of using a badge, so if he's from that type of environment then perhaps that was his thought process.

It was an accident. When I worked at amway in their pressure packaging department they had a halon system in what they called the gas house where they bottled concentrated mouthwash. They asked you everytime you went in there if you had a lighter, phone, beeper, carstarter or anything electronic on you and showed you the two exits in case of the halon dispersion.
