As to what caused this failure?
A source claims it was a blocked drain under one of the gally's that caused water to short out an electronics rack that caused the generators to fail.
I'm sure the full and proper cause will be revealed.
It would be a real shame though ,if this was due to substandard outsourced maintanence wouldn't it!
Another case of Profitability before Safety before Schedule?
