Traffic control evacuation in Winnipeg

The Air Traffic Control Centre in Winnipeg had to be evacuated for awhile this morning, when the fire prevention systems went haywire, and discharged a fire suppressant gas. There were no injuries, and the evacuation was done gradually, so that some controllers were able to continue working. There were a few flight delays.
