Tufts Medical School. 1970 – 75 period. Connection failed on condenser at night. Fifth floor, by morning, water had flooded the first-floor medical school library. Much damage, and some very PO’d admins and maintenance.
No pics, too long ago.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] One Pass Water Flooding Incidents
Hi All:
I have a couple of hold-outs who insist on using one-pass water in reflux condensers and the like. The “California is in constant drought” argument gets me nowhere.
So I’m looking for flooding incidents when the tubing popped off the condenser and flooded the lab or building, etc. Images would be awesome.
Thanks!
Best,
Debbie
