Yeah, those I get. But there is no reason to pump water to the ceiling except for fire sprinklers.
Pipe Burst in Hilton!

They "emptied" the fire suppression lines in my building, and it was outside our office, and I still sent my staff home because of the fumes. It smells like a cross between rotten eggs and car exhaust. Its raunchy.
I just hope the guys responsible for the repair aren't overthinking this...
Hopefully, no one punctured our reservoir of Hilton Magic.
(Why do I feel that this is going to be a bigger story than it initially seems? Hopefully, it won't disrupt the games on FRI but that's not a lot of time to get something cleaned up)

Does Incarnate Word have an open date?
Dang, I know we've had a lot rain the last few months, but this is ridiculous. Floods of 2010 all over again.

I will be disappointed if someone in student section isn't dressed up as a can of flex seal tomorrow night.
I remember seeing plans to renovate Hilton in the past. Expanding the concourses and filling in the outside with glass.

It was going to be with the practice center attached. I'd still like to see Hilton renovated at some point.

Ha - That's me. Row 2 of Section 213.
Well, you've got the right user name
The rotten egg smell is because Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas tends to build up in stagnant water, especially in enclosed pipes. It's pretty toxic in the right concentrations so I imagine they are going to have to vent the building pretty well before they let many people in (which I'm sure they would do anyway to get rid of the smell).
At the CPA firm I used to work at there was a pipe burst. Supposedly, for many years people dumped their coffee grounds down the drain and eventually rotted the pipe. When the pipe broke nasty water and old coffee grounds came out of the ceiling. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE smell.
On the bright side I've got plenty of cover if I hit up Chipotle for lunch that day. For the noise aspect, just need to time it out to the rhythmic clapping at timeouts. The perfect cover.
Marked you down as sewage specialist.
Excellent show if you have the humor of a teenager. Thankfully, my wife and I both do.
