Just curious, 
Did that system with "Quite a few other breaks", have bracing and other seismic 
features installed, comparable to that found in the 2016 NFPA 13?
 
Thanks,

SJ

We had lots of 15’ drops in tilt-ups to office build outs at 9-10th AFF. After 
Nisqually earthquake I don’t think I saw any failures. A few broken suspended 
ceiling tiles. Yes, a couple goosenecks did roll, but that was on ESFR, near 
roof level, and is another story.

Quite a few other breaks.

Best.
