Jeez, what kind of gas-based fire suppression system shakes buildings and seriously damages equipment?

Well, as I commented in a Contingency Planning report for xxxxxCo some years ago "I have been unable to confirm the Ops. dept. claim that soldered 15mm copper tubing can handle the release of unregulated CO2"
