It's better than the title implies. They also broke the MRI machine because they hit emergency stop buttons instead of stopping for a couple seconds to ask how to safely handle removing the gun.
(I'm not sure the cost difference between a graceful shutdown and an e-stop and can't find information, but if it's 250k worth of fix, I'm betting it's significant.)
IIRC the emergency stop vents the liquid helium, that's a lot of the cost I imagine.
And they were there because the energy use of the MRI made them suspect it was a pot farm... in a legal state.
