minus-squareJordan LundlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoI worked with a guy who came up servicing buildings like these, he said the big problem was lightning strikes. The equipment was grounded, so it was fine, but the surge would hit these carbon filters and blow them clean off the switches on to the floor. So they’d have to manually pick them all up and put them back on. Not sure if he was pulling my leg or not, but a great story…
