Im Surprised All 5 Gens supply was Knocked out.
Somewhere on the first two pages somebody said the four generator control units for the four generators were close together and all got hit by the water from the galley. If that is correct then the supposed fourfold redundancy of having a separate generator associated with each engine is not really redundancy as if you knock out one generator control unit with water you are likely to get the other three as well.

I noticed in Dick Smith's post he said that on his plane the two generator control units are in different physical locations.
