I clicked the link you provided Stephen, but I get a broken link error. IS this info from a relaible source? I ask because I've seen lots of info about the incident, but never once a reference to a water leak.

Weird. The link works fine for me. Yes, it's from the TWC president, Debora Wilson.

Yeah, I can confirm that a) that is reliable (some how someone got ahold of an internal memo and posted it) and that b) it was a water leak that got in to power equipment which shorted out important equipment.

Then that's pure negligence on their part. How do you let a water leak go long enough to damage equipment?

They probably didn't have any idea that that was happening until the power went out.

The damage cause an electical fire to the equipment?

There was no fire of any sorts.

That's why its negligence. When you have all that expensive equipment, you've GOT to be alert for anything that could harm it.

Mechanical Failure caused water to leak at an alarming rate, but again, you think it would have been able to be stopped or maintained. But then again, no one noticed it until the litteral "BANG" that was heard through out the building.

Exactly. You'd think someone would've seen something and stopped the leak before it was too late. I'd imagine there'd have to be a considerable amount of water to create a bang that big.

Is there any clue as to what type of leak it was, i.e.e a ceiling leak, or a floor leak, etc.?

I prefer the "rogue master control operator with a water cooler" theory that I just made up.
