I think we're getting two separate things mixed up here. Back on January 21st, the major "meltdown" happened (whatever it was power surge, water leak, power outage, etc). But nothing else major has happened since then. Just a couple of lights have burnt out in the studio.

Oh, we're talking about ANOTHER incident?  :shocked:
yep :yes:
No we aren't, Victor. We're talking about the events that occurred the night on January 21 (which was caused by a water leak in the studios from what I've heard). ;)

wait what? when did this incident occur? i was referring to the one that shut twc down for over (under?) 24 hours.

from what i heard, it was def. an electrical power serge that fried some of their on-air equipment, i don't see how a water leak would lead twc to cease operations.

Al, we're talking about the incident that occurred on about 9:30 PM CT on the evening of January 21st (which caused TWC to be down for several hours).

Umm, I don't know if you know this or not, but water and electrical equipment does not mix. ;)

BTW, this is where I heard about the water leak: http://www.twcclassics.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=8388&view=findpost&p=134667

well obviously...but if it was a controllable leak, they wouldn't have to cease operations and take over 5 hours to recover.

The leak shorted out some electrical equipment. An electrical short will knock things out for a while. ;)

you see this is where i got lost...i thought they knew about the leak. though (after reading that post) they didn't find out until after an evacuation of the building, and ceasing operations.

stephen, don't speak to me like i'm stupid. i know that water and electricity don't mix...

I didn't mean to. I was just trying to explain to you exactly what had happened that night (according to TWC). B)
