Pipes banging

in Strictly Steam
Hoping to get some clarification in the basics of steam.   
Here is the situation:
Commercial building has two steam boilers.  Boiler-1 is in operation and Boiler-2 has been down for a while. 
Steam has been condensing on Blr-2.  Tried blowing down the LWCO on Blr-2 and the pipes banged like thunderstorm.  
What is going on here?

    Boiler #2 is down ? Is #2 isolated from the system ?

    Steam would implode on contact with tempered water ...

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Not isolated.  Gauge reading same PSI as Boiler-1
