I've got two such stories. Around 2000, I was working at a huge web hosting company (third shift, monitoring the network). Suddenly the power went out. Turns out, the building management (separate company) decided to run a UPS test and the memo got lost. Fun time that night. Second story, around 2005---I, along with a friend and my father, were in Las Vegas eating lunch at one of the major casinos when the power went out completely. It was eerily silent and dark! (and then slowly, we started hearing the groans of slotzombies rising among us) I'm sure someone lost their job for a UPS cut-over failure.
