Default Shaw Court on fire

Rumours have it to be a 3 alarm fire with explosions.

Anyone can verify?

Shaw services are down in the downtown area, not sure about anywhere else.

Our business VOIP phones are through Shaw. Guess what aint working atm? I called our phone providers tech support to bitch and dood tells me "shaw is on fire" I thought he was kidding at first. Apparently he is not.

Obviously this isn't affecting our internet and the TV in the lunch room seems to be working fine.

Initial reports indicating it was a strike with a new "Bell" class cruise missile.

On the major plus side, Country 105 is currently off the air.

My sources say a generator on the 13th floor may have gone up.

See, this is what happens when you overuse the AC.

Very simple 'casual Wednesday' or 'mandatory bikinis for all hot chicks in the office' policies could have avoided all of this tragedy.

I'm in Renfrew, just north of downtown, and it's working here.

Companies using hosted services out of Shaw Court are also down. Including my company's point of sale and SAP servers. Sufficed to say, my day in IT just began to suck.

Now is the time to phone them to get a break on your cable bill, just tell them you're outside the doors with a crowbar.

I just looked out my office window and theres a whole wack load of firetrucks outside the building. I don't see any smoke but its quite a large response team over there. I was wondering why QR77 went offline while I was listening to it.

EDIT: guess someone already pointed that out.

QR77 Newsroom ‏@QR77Newsroom
Crews say a problem w/ our generator system forced the sprinklers to go off, which led to the alarms sounding & eventual evacuation. #yyc

QR77 Newsroom ‏@QR77Newsroom
Some of us heard a loud "bang" and then the power went out. It's believed a generator problem was the cause. Crews still on-scene. #yyc

Chris Bassett ‏@global_bassett
EMS confirms nobody hurt in incident at Shaw building downtown. Still waiting for an update from the fire department. #yyc
