I really don't know what the proper procedure should be in a data center when the big klaxon goes off and you here those fateful words over the intercom, "Close all doors, DIVE, DIVE, DIVE!"

Are they unable to bypass the destroyed pumps and take fuel to the generators via 55-gallon drums? If so, why not?

"The building itself is being evacuated and no remote hands support will be available to assist in any equipment shutdown. Life safety is our number one priority and we are making plans to completely exit the facility."

Uptime that requires people to risk their lives isn't worth asking for.

I wonder what the chances are that the water will go down, and they will be able to supply fuel to the pumps, before power is actually lost.
