Re: Back-up, folks?
"To say that it's a power problem sounds a classic generalisation to try and keep people......er......."happy"
I suspect it's part of the blame game. They say "power failure" and the implication to most people is that the local power company is at fault and poor old BA have no control over it. By the time the truth comes out, most people will have forgotten all about it and, if it's reported at all, it'll be little non-story, not a BIG HEADLINE.
Those of us who understand resilience and DR can speculate all we like, but the general public and the politicians with little no clue about either, will happily go on blaming the 'leccy supplier and feeling sorry for BA.
