Ham Mills, Stroud - 2005

[Oxygen Thief]

I went into the older mill building, had a nose around, saw the first aid room and took some pics.

Then I saw a cupboard with a lot of massive CO2 bottles in them, this is a building size fire extinguisher.

A sign said 'after pulling handle evacuate building'.

Thinking they would obviously discharged, I pulled the handle and living hell broke loose, all the rooms were instantly filled with freezing CO2, and there was a non-explosive boom every time a bottle discharged. Funny as fuck, until a woman shouted over "what the fuck is going on ?????" etc etc." and started writing something in a notebook.

She then called the police who swarmed all over the place, but I managed to hide for a while, then get away OK.
