Do NOT Press This Button!

Kid Presses Button

Boy, the parents of this kid have some explaining to do. An employee event Sunday morning at the Agusta Aerospace facility at Philadelphia's Northeast Airport (PNE) turned into something between an inadvertant ski trip, and chaotic free-for-all, when the hangar filled with fire suppression foam.

The incident began when an employee's child hit a button that said "Don't Hit Button Unless In An Emergency," according to WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. That button, as you may have guessed, was connected to the hangar's emergency fire system.

Foam also spilled out onto the ramp... with the wind adding to the "ski trip" analogy.

There's no word yet on any damages, or how the lone helicopter inside the hangar weathered the sudden snow-type storm. The age of the curious tot was also not reported.

The foamy mess was cleared by the Philadelphia Fire Department. No word yet on whether Agusta plans any more family outings... ever again.
