INT – DAY
\n6 AM. Fall morning. A phone rings. Half-awake man stumbles to answer it.<\/p>\n
Sam (croaks): hello?
\nBoss: There’s smoke pouring out of the server room. I need the passwords to shut everything down. We’re going to yank the plugs soon.
\nSam: Uh..is the gear hot? What about the UPS’s?<\/p>\n
Boss checks.<\/p>\n
Boss: All cool to the touch.
\nFire chief: If you don’t shut those servers off now, we’re ripping the walls out!
\nSam: Wait! If it’s the gear shorting out then why is everything operational? Are the walls hot?
\nFire chief: Could be a problem outlet. Why are we listening to you anyway?<\/p>\n
A buildings and grounds staffer rushes in.<\/p>\n
B&G: A rubber belt in the air handler on the roof snapped. It’s burning. That air handler vents right into the server room. Let me shut off the HVAC system.<\/p>\n
In reality this drama took thirty minutes to play out. Five hours later the server room still smells a bit…rubbery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
