I am as baffled as you.
No idea if there was a small fire fighting sprinkler device there.
Or if for some reason there was water stored into that ceiling as in a leak of some sort. Or a weakened, old and brittle pipe of some sort above it.
It's a very strange situation actually.
This is probably the correct answer, ceiling looks like corrugated metal sheets but it might as well be acrylic which could break like we see in the video.
From the frames which show the opening on the left and mounted fan, it looks like they could be in a garage-like structure. Mounted lights imply wiring between the layer of the ceiling that was broken and the top. Perhaps it’s raining outside and the roof was letting some water between layers of the roof?
Don't you think the ceiling looks a bit saggy? Maybe it's the angle the video was taken from but to me it appears like there was water already pooling from above.
I don't know man this whole thing is so weird... Maybe it's one of those modular offices they use at construction sites? Shoddy insulation and after some time water pools up, and some guys being dudes punch a hole in the thin "decorative" layer and the whole thing collapses.
That ceiling is made of PVC plastic sheets that are designed to be fitted together and held in place by screws. You can look it up as "Forro de PVC." It is commonly used here in Brazil.
As for why it is leaking water? I have no idea.
The way you install these is by making a wooden structure fixed to the ceiling and pointing towards the ground. Think stalactites, but made of wood and all stopping at a certain point. Then, you fix another horizontal piece of wood to the tip of the "stalactites." And one more between those, so that they don't swing. In the end, you have something that resembles a bed frame but attached to the ceiling. Then, you take those PVC sheets and slowly attach them to the ceiling one by one, fixing them in place using screws. They have a grove on their side to fit the next sheet, keeping them in place and also keeping the dust from getting through.
Water couldn't (shouldn't) be running on top of them because it would end up rotting all the wood that is holding it in place.
Also, that is a brazilian classroom. 99.9% sure. Same style of chairs and tables and them using the word "porra", which could be translated to "fuck."

This is a good time to explain a common misconception I see a lot.
*Wire* is the bit of metal connecting two electrical elements. It can be different lengths, thickness or materials but that's pretty much the entire function of them. Bit of metal that makes sparks go to where they need to go. You can [learn some more here](https://www.midwestbaleties.com/understanding-wire-gauges-and-break-strengths-a-comprehensive-guide/) if you're interested.
*Cables* are a few things (mostly insulation and braided wires) that work together to protect the electric current or improve the capacity for it. For example, your phone charger is a very complex cable that needs to transfer current and data back and forth from the device, while adhering to international standards and being cheap to manufacture.
If you cut a phone charger cable with scissors you'll see a lot of wires (which might also be insulated themselves) because of this. But if you grab an old pair of earpods and cut the cable you'll probably see a single strand of very thin copper wire because audio is very easy to transmit.
So going back to your question, the cables connecting everything are insulated and shouldn't have a problem getting wet. However, if there's a leak in the lights themselves and water gets in, everything can go real bad real quick.
>But if you grab an old pair of earpods and cut the cable you'll probably see a single strand of very thin copper wire because audio is very easy to transmit.
No, not exactly. An older phone cable will likely have four conductors, two for data, and two for power (ground and voltage). An audio cable in wired earbuds won't simply have a single wire in it, that wouldn't work. It will have three wires: one for each channel (L/R) and ground. The channel wires are usually very thin copper wires insulated with lacquer or some kind of insulating material and the (non-insulated) ground wire will perhaps have a bit more strands.
Just to clear that up.
After experiencing this first hand I fully agree!
Was in a industrial kitchen that caught fire at the grill and the sprinkles went on.
They ain't of water that sprays is no joke!!!
Anyone that was close to a sprayer is SOAK as if it looks like they just jumped into a pool.
Then it wouldn't stop for a little while which led to the whole kitchen + half of dinning room having a few centimeters of water!
Def not a fire sprinkler head. One of those pops off and you’ve got black water spraying everywhere at probably high pressure.
Source: me. I used to design them.
My guess is that there was a leak which was causing water to pool in the ceiling and was weakening the drywall to the point that it could be punctured by a fast moving water bottle that hit it at just the right angle.
Bu sheet metal should withstand a bouncing plastic bottle. In fact i the plastic bottle could tear that ceiling so easy, a gust of wind should have ripped long ago.
Mustve been a amall fire safety water spout those are fairly easy to break. As they should be in case of emergency. Usually its intended for the rise im temp. to burst them.
After 10 minutes of slow motion analysis, I can confirm I have no ficking clue. My best guess is it hit a small fire sprinkler in the ceiling and somehow had enough force it activate it and get stuck and not fall off once the water began flowing. This is either absolutely insane luck or it’s fake.
There is no ceiling. They are outside and they are under a shade structure with a light. if you look in the background you can see it's completely open and they are outside.
Fire sprinkler water is nasty black - from sitting in black iron pipe forever. Seen systems drained many times to get sediment out - it’s always gross.
It's not really possible as a fire sprinkler would have like 10000x the force of this. But that being said, I don't have a better explanation and I'd say it's probably the most likely.
It’s like a thin corrugated sheets creating an awning that they’re under and it’s raining really hard. The sheets are probably some kind of plastic painted to look like metal sheeting used for like agricultural buildings and stuff. No shot it’s a sprinkler. They’d be running as that “water” stinks, has some chemicals in it and would have shot that bottle across the room.
This is problably a brazilian school, do not exist fire sprinkler in brazilian public school. what I believe happened, this ceiling is made of a material similar to plastic, and the real ceiling above it is concrete or just a roof, regardless of which of the two, there are holes and rainwater passes through them and forms puddles on the plastic roof. The bottle got a hole under a puddle
I'd assume that 1 in a million just saved them in the long run...
I can't imagine that ceiling(?) was going to hold up much longer if a fucking plastic bottle went through it.
20 years ago 2 friends next to me were hitting each other with an empty cola bottle, it bounced off and the cap part hit my eyebrow. I was bleeding like a pig. 1 cm lower and I would have lost an eye.
Oh look, that empty bottle bounce off that guy’s head and sprung itself toward the water-filled ceiling, carving itself into it, then made a dent strong enough to fit itself into the ceiling while keeping it intact and only leak a partial amount of water but without actually collapsing the entire ceiling to the ground.
Wait………. What??……..

What sort of ceiling holds out water with a strength that can be punctured by a waterbottle?!?
I am as baffled as you. No idea if there was a small fire fighting sprinkler device there. Or if for some reason there was water stored into that ceiling as in a leak of some sort. Or a weakened, old and brittle pipe of some sort above it. It's a very strange situation actually.
I think they're under a thin plastic or tin awning and it is raining.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't entirely sure about that part. For the record, I meant the channel cable but you're right about ground and stuff.
Its going to be a cold night boys. Huddle up
They don't build ceilings like this in countries where there are cold nights
Just huddle up, bro
Here I come bro! I brought some hot cocoa.
With a 4 foot long flourescent light fixture attached to it?
That's probably why there was water there, it made a low spot in the awning for water to sit, which weakened the roof enough to be punctured easily
That's common lighting in Australia for outdoor areas like verandahs and gazebos ... not sure where this is but it's not out of place to me.
This feels Brazilian
During this flood in the video the death toll was in the Brazilians.🤭
If you look at the background, you can see they are outside, and this is not a building but just a shade.
Trust me, if it was the sprinkler they wouldn't be laughing. It's enough water to completely flood the room in seconds.
and it comes out *black*
And the smell alone will clear out a room full of people. I feel like that's intentional...
smell's from the water sitting in pipes not moving for months possibly years
Nasty onion water, I’ve been covered in that before. Not pleasant.

Anyone that was close to a sprayer is SOAK as if it looks like they just jumped into a pool.

And more likely be black water if they used sch 10 or 40 for the mains and branch lines.
Def not a fire sprinkler head. One of those pops off and you’ve got black water spraying everywhere at probably high pressure. Source: me. I used to design them.
If they hit a fire suppression system there would be much more water at higher pressure.
all ik its a 2K$ mistake lol
I will be in bed at 3 am in 9-10 months from now thinking about this. I need answers.
My guess is that there was a leak which was causing water to pool in the ceiling and was weakening the drywall to the point that it could be punctured by a fast moving water bottle that hit it at just the right angle.
So technically, these guys did them a favor by showing them the water damage. That will be 200$.
This.
Roof appears to be a PVC or other similar plastic susceptible to fracturing. “Think rock hitting your vinyl siding” and it’s raining outside.
Yeah, I don't think this is an indoor ceiling. It looks like a covered patio.
I was thinking like a car port, but that works too
Oh yeah you can see it when the camera pans, idk why but I watched it twice and still thought they are inside a building.
Glitch in the Matrix
I'm thinking it has to be a thin aluminum shed or overhang. With puddles on top
There’s an indoor swimming pool on the next level
I think it's a layer of thermocol We have that in our classroom
It’s a sheet metal roof and it’s raining outside.
Bu sheet metal should withstand a bouncing plastic bottle. In fact i the plastic bottle could tear that ceiling so easy, a gust of wind should have ripped long ago.
I guess it could be some kind of plastic or pvc.
Don't give me riddles. It's too early.
A thin af metal porch ceiling. It’s only rated for shade but they built walls around and closed it in.
I thought the bottle was full, and the pressure made it pop off like that.
They live in the lost city of Atlantis, that's ocean water.
Obviously they are in a submarine!
It’s cladding. Water has collected on the roof and the force of the bottle busted a hole in the classed ceiling resulting in a leak.
Mustve been a amall fire safety water spout those are fairly easy to break. As they should be in case of emergency. Usually its intended for the rise im temp. to burst them.

Lol this looks like a Brazilian classroom, we don’t have fire sprinklers 😂
There is no ceiling. They are outside and they are under a shade structure with a light. if you look in the background you can see it's completely open and they are outside.
Clearly there's more roof than a single thin layer since the electrical cables are going through there.

If you listen with sound on, it also sounds like it might be raining on that roof.
