I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

This happens with fire sprinklers a lot, one sprinkler goes off, and triggers the rest of the floor, or sometimes even building.

That's not how it works. Each sprinkler has it's own trigger mechanism, the glass bulb, and cannot trigger another sprinkler.

There are systems where this happens, but the sprinkler heads look very different, and you won't find them in an office building.

Theoretically the water hammer effect might be able to break that glass, but I think it's unlikely.

You get a water hammer when you shut off the flow, not when you open it.
