        My understanding is basically this:
        they were doing standard upkeep (you know, changing the oil, replacing air filters, etc.) when one little black box crapped out.  They were scrambling to fix that one, but it caused other things to go bad, which caused even more things to go bad, and the next thing you know, they were sitting in the center lane of the LIE with a blown engine and a 4 mile traffic jam behind them at 5pm on a Friday.

          And me giving them a severe case of shit via Twitter DM, probably did not help their mood….

            Probably not.:)

            I'm sure you were not alone, though.

            This kind of thing isn't supposed to happen.  That's why they pay IT nerds lots of money.  An unexpected crash for a few minutes is one thing, but bombing the system for 10-12 hours is a huge sh!tstorm.  There are going to be a lot of angry meetings at Clook over the next few days, and a couple of people might even be updating their CVs…

                            i work in ward inhabited by criminals, sex offenders and rapists…. they're not all compliant with medication and sometimes therapeutic communication doesnt cut it. it gets rough at times. i'm in need of things that'll hold up, built to last and take a beating . anyways, due to this, i know psychiatrists and social workers will do more thorough investigations of whom belong there and who should be transferred to a more secure facility. i thought i'd post it for those who heard about it in the news. i was one of the first to respond to that incident
