Another one (thanks Brian Pardy for his story which reminded me of this)
A UK utility company had one of its data centres in a lower ground floor,
with a loading bay outside. Delivery truck's brakes failed on the down
ramp, and the fire doors - though designed to open outwards only -
unsurprisingly proved a poor match against the accumulated momentum of the
incoming 20 ton truck.
