The Air Force did not know.

Fuck yeah it is. Unless we're talking a pond, which we are not. Spraying water will run off too fast. It wouldn't be surrounding the metal. It would be willy fucking nilly or resting on the floor.

When it is dunked in water. You don't need viscosity if you are going to dunk. If you are going to spray you need it. That is why I used a metal lathe as an example. It sprays coolant that is as thick as oil so it doesn't just run off into the catch.
Quote:ok, well, i can't work on the guesses. i know there should be a sprinkler head every 400sf. there should be a damper at every vertical pipe, duct, penetration between floors and firestop at every horizontal penetration, duct, pipe. basically, buildings are built to contain a fire in one space, then wet it out. risers aren't placed at the exterior of a building, they're usually in the core (better insulated against weather is more efficient for heating/cooling). i doubt very few of the water supply was compromised. this would be horrible judgment on the designers' behalf.
Did you see how far the planes went in? At any rate, it doesn't matter about the risers. Without the verticals, the water would not have been able to go anywhere. Those sprinklers are not made to withstand impact and fire. They are made to put out fires.
Quote:hey, perhaps none of the systems implemented to prevent spread of fire, worked this day. i'd just be inclined to bet otherwise.
I would not. They are implemented to prevent the spread of fire. They are not made to put out fires after the pipes have been struck by a freaking airplane.
