June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”

March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it “impacted by objects”

@0xabad1dea if it was "literally struck by a ballistic missile" they'd not be talking about bringing it back up in a few hours...
@HeNeArXn presumably the missile was not aimed directly at the data center but at something nearby. If your neighbor is exploded off the face of the earth by a missile and your power generator is taken out by the kinetic impact, you have been struck by a missile, you’re just luckily alive enough to complain about it
@0xabad1dea or its fragments from an intercepted missile or drone, or from something fired at an incoming missile, or bits from a plane, or ... and they might not even know yet what exactly it was. Hence, "objects".
