sites down....
I suppose this will get move but.... FYI, you may have noticed some web sites down over the weekend, this is why...
"Customers hosting with ThePlanet, a major Texas hosting provider, are going through some tough times. Yesterday evening at 5:45 pm local time an electrical short caused a fire and explosion in the power room, knocking out walls and taking the entire facility offline. No-one was hurt and no servers were damaged. Estimates suggest 9,000 servers are offline, affecting 7,500 customers, with ETAs for repair of at least 24 hours from onset. While they claim redundant power, because of the nature of the problem they had to go completely dark. This goes to show that no matter how much planning you do, Murphy's Law still applies."

The second floor of H1 Data center is now on and working. The first floor ( where the explosion occured ) has power and some servers are coming back up now.
Some temp resolvers were up as well. With luck this whole mess might be straight by tonight!

Where did you find this info? I can't find anything more about it. I'm in the business of hosting so I'd like to read more if possible, just a morbid curiosity.
