ATTENTION PLEASE

There's currently a 'stage 1 alarm' sounding all across the MS campus, which very loudly asks for everyone's attention, and then informs everyone they may soon need to evacuate. And then asks for everyone's attention, and then...

Grr.

I'm presuming the reason for the possible evacuation is that the alarm system has been accidentally switched on, and is now stuck in a loop - and it's got to be against health & safety law to have to listen to this for more than a few minutes straight. Only problem is, if the thing does remain in a loop for more than a few minutes, then we can't be told to evacuate, because they can't turn off the warning message.

Poor planning?

Update: With four seconds to go before I shot myself, it's stopped. Thank Spider Pig.
