Bad day at Britannia Pier
« on: August 26, 2017, 03:18:05 AM »

This happened on the 24th at the Britannia Pier theater.  Drencher (Deluge fire curtain in US terms) was triggered.

quote from blue-room post:
"Tonight was a bad one. During the interval, somebody went backstage through a pass door and pulled the remote drencher release. I've had this once before in 1976 and that was with the house tabs in - but this was on an open stage during a Showaddywaddy gig. Under the pipe - all active monitors, PA, mains distribution, guitars and main digital PA rack - all soaked. Main RCD on the power panel tripped thankfully, so no electrocutions as people were wading about in the stream."

More than a bit of an impractical joke.  Hate to know the price for that foolish stunt.
