9-12-2005: Huge power outage in Los Angeles brings down all services. Back-up generators fail. More on this later. Update: Due to the severity of the power outage, our upstream providers went down, making some sort of downtime inevitable. However, extra time was needed to re-power hardware after two of our five generators failed (four generators are required to keep things running). Measures have been taken so that generator failure should not happen again.
