Construction = Earthquake (Score 1)

A previous employer's datacenter was very state-of-the-art, with the exception of the amount of available common sense. There was some need to drill a hole in the concrete floor underneath the raised flooring, so they brought in a freaking jackhammer and went at it for three days. Rows of rack-mounted Unix servers were shaking all day long, as if in a major earthquake. What a surprise when some of the servers started to go belly-up, resulting in application outages that were costing my employer lots of money. The doofus VP of engineering was yelling at the vendor about the quality of their servers, when I pointed-out to him that no server was built to withstand the amount of vibration to which these servers had just been subjected.
