YellowVest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 A Jet Engine explodes inside BC Place and the roof pressure drops. Yeah I know, you all tell me there's noting wrong with the Stadium right? Only 2 billion people are going to be watching on Feb 12, 2010. You still gonna tell me the Roof is safe?: http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/local...05736-sun.html B.C. Place stadium jet engine blows its stack 24 HOURS One of the 16 jet-engine fans that keeps Vancouver's Olympic stadium roof aloft exploded last Wednesday, according to 24 hours sources. Rapid air pressure drops occurred at B.C. Place Stadium Feb. 17 around 8 p.m. and again Feb. 18 at 5:10 a.m. One source said the protective screen for the shrapnel-covered industrial fan room was blown out. Another fan was already out of service for maintenance. Stadium general manager Howard Crosley said a support rod "worked itself into the fan blades and that's what caused it to fail." "The building control system sent out an alarm and automatically reacted to the subsequent pressure drop," Crosley said. "The pressure drop was noticeable because of the response time of the pneumatic system, but the roof was not in peril." Crosley said two to three fans are currently used to inflate the fabric roof. There were also rapid pressure drops on Nov. 16 and 17, Dec. 19 and Feb. 10. Workers manually opened air dampers on Dec. 17 to enable the snow-melting system. The 2010 Winter Olympics open at B.C. Place in less than a year. The taxpayer-owned stadium's air-supported fabric roof will be replaced with a retractable system by 2011 as part of a $365-million overhaul that began last summer.

mr.x Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I believe BC Place has something like a dozen or more fans....and something like one or two only need to be on for the roof to stay inflated. Better now than 2010. I could care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowVest Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 16 fans actually, 2 fans per fan room and 8 fan rooms. Each fan on full blast blows 100,000 cubic feet of air per minute... BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

Sir Rols Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) ...and just so everyone knows, my question most assuredly was in jest. My answer wasn't totally in jest, though. Honestly, first thing I thought when I saw this thread this morning was to wonder whether yellowvest really wanted to make his predictions come true.

lehari Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well, in this case YellowVest just reported the fact that happened in B.C Place, I don't see nothing wrong with this! The real problem in this case is that it seems that there's REALLY A PROBLEM WITH THE ROOF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well, the current roof will be gone in 18-24 months and it only takes 2 or 3 fans to keep the stadium inflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 16-fans in the stadium and it only takes 2-3 fans to keep the stadium roof inflated. Also read that: "The pressure drop was noticeable because of the response time of the pneumatic system, but the roof was not in peril." There is no problem with the roof, and the one and only other time it deflated was a result of human error of not turning on the snow melt system.

YellowVest Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 No the REAL problem is Mr. X going around and standing by BC Place and saying everything they do is right and there are no issues to deal with. He probably works there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowVest Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 the roof will fail on its own before 2010 another jet engine is going to explode and the shrapnel will cut the lining as you can read in the article, the force of the blast tore off a protective metal screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.x Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Kinda hard for it to cut the roof considering it's IN A CONCRETE WALLED ROOM: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I really don't see the logic in the argument. BC Place has only deflated once in its 25 year history. So why do you think that it will chose some time after 6:00 pm on February 12, 2010 for its second major deflation? The stadium gets used quite frequently as you can see by the calendar of events and the most recent full capacity event was Madonna's concert in October. Nothing happened then. Even if the roof did collapse during the Olympics, would it really put lives at risk? The roof is fabric and the deflation would be slow. It would be like slowly watching a blanket come down on you. Watch this edited video...look how long it takes the stadium to deflate. It didn't pop like a balloon. It just faded like an air mattress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
