    A data center had a water cooling system leak. The data center was overheating at 2 a.m. and had to be shut down urgently. We were all able to come to the data center the next day at 3 p.m. to try to restart everything.

    Our servers didn't restart right away; the heat had caused the plastic on the disk bays to shift. Fortunately, when we took the disks out and put them back in, everything worked again for us. I don't know about the thousands of other data center customers.
