<div>That is hopefully a scenario that you won't see again!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>An equally difficult situation is if the IT staff are hit by a bus. They are key to most IT installations, and might be the only people with the necessary passwords or even knowledge of where the backup tapes are kept. A disaster can occur without any visible damage to infrastucture.

<div>But this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4vDClhnJjs">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4vDClhnJjs</a> is worth watching, as a laugh Though for Web2.0 apps it's actually not such a joke - lots of people have no personal backup of their
Web2.0 stuff.. Like we gmail users...</div>

And on a field trip to Penhalurick's hardware store many moons ago when they were amongst the first to have fully computerised their store's operation, Mr P was so confident in his system that he went over to the power switch board, warned those on check out that 'this was a drill' and pressed a big red button. The whole store went off. 45 seconds later the emergency generator had cut in, and about a minute later all the checkouts were operational again....very impressive!
