Re: When Urban Myths Come True

We had a customer whose local network and server were in a building where another department had an industrial microwave oven (think big and many kilowatts for heating something more than a burrito) that caught fire. The fire was quickly extinguished, but not before it melted a 10 cm water pipe (PVC I guess) that flooded said network and server. Fortunately everything was backed up onto their main server, but was a sad and harried customer having to reassemble things in a new building.
