Indeed, this is what I find incomprehensible; you have a separate, back-up power source for your servers independent of the National Grid. I am assuming the majority of BA's servers are located in Waterside somewhere. This said, the National Grid is relatively stable and power surges are few and fair between. The truth is one or more IT systems have probably fallen over.
