At least after reading through their rhetoric I think what they are trying to say is be calm... wait it out... it will be ok. How about all you hippies go hug a tree somewhere together and let those of us that are mad... be mad?

yes go cut a tree or whatever and be as mad as you like, telling raist should shut up , he is the only one who brought up constructive posts at all

You can plan for contingency, but not every contingency.

Yes, you are correct. You don't have to plan for a Hat Trick of Suck, you plan for server interruption. This could be from many different sources:

Your backbone could go down.
You could have a fire start in the server room.
Your power line could be cut.
Problems with local bandwidth provider (if you're not directly linked to the backbone).

There's other problems that can get you to the same outcome. Granted, most of these problems would only cause a few hours to a few days of downtime, but the point is still the same. You don't plan for a large earthquake, Tsunami, and Chernobyl pt2. You plan for extended downtime.

There's been plenty of interuptions, just not major ones.

They had many things planned for times like this, the problem is things got way worse then they expected. People expect this complicated answer, but to be honest, it is as simple as what I just said.

Their emergency plans where set at an 8/10 and they got a 9, not that hard to understand.
