Half a Million Dollar AIX system kept having main system drive failures
costing the Electric Utility who owned the Nuclear Plant undergoing its
18 month Maintenance Outage about One-Hundred Thousand dollars a day in
delay costs.

Cause: 1 25 cent chip on the hot-swap carriage the disk was mounted in.

Subject: 1 minutes: best downtime story

Hey all -

I'm writing a paper about top causes of downtime.  As one component of
research, I'd like to get some input from you!

One minute, two sentences. First sentence: describe what went down.
Second sentence: describe why.  (I have to categorize all of these.)
Everyone should have at least one downtime story so I'm hoping for a lot
of feedback!

Answer about any technology - database, operating system, etc.

Thanks!

-Jeremy
