Hard problem

Is it possible that the fire suppression system at Red Bee's tv transmission centre in White City damaged what it was supposed to protect ?

Some channels are still struggling to get back on air in a steady state. It suggests that there may have been some corruption on the hard drives that keep broadcasting going. It could have happened as a result of vibration - when the systems discharge gas under high pressure (to rob a fire of oxygen) there's considerable noise, on top of the alarms, and vibration can cause the hard disk drive read/write head to go off track.  Some experts recommended cutting the power to hard drives before abandoning the site to the fire suppression system - hardly the point of protecting the asset !
