Back in the 00's there was a power outage in downtown Vancouver. It caused Peer1 to fall back to their generators... that weren't tested for ages. They struggled for 5 minutes, gave up and bursted into flames, resulting in the colo not being able to go back online even when the main power was restored. That was an epic mess. Especially considering they positioned themselves as the most technically sophisticated colo in the region. So, yeah, it happens.
