I don't understand how they could have 3 different power systems fail without a serious operations procedural error.They did not, the transfer switch did.
In 18 years of telecom management I have never seen a "Transfer Switch" as a component failure.
I have seen automatic tranfer mechanisms fail but, never the manual portion of the switch.
Somone mentioned that they had seen Stanfords generator plant and it was all dusty. Is it possible that no one knew how the transfer switch worked or possibly no one knew that it had a manual override? Is there anyone close enough to Stanford to check up on this stuff?
