I work for the MIS department for a hospital.
One day in the data center the generator was showing an error.
The alarms were blazing. After about 30 minutes of working the facility ops "Now dubbed facility oops" noticed the big red button. Evidently he though it would shut off he alarms.
Well it did shut off the alarms, killed power to the whole computer room, and trigger the halon gas.
As the room filled with halon all the people with good sense ran out of the building. The facility oops guy just stood there with his mouth slacked jawed.
It took 24 hours for a full recovery.
