That fast?
Only down 24 hours due to a water leak? Not bad. In a shop I worked in in the 1980s, we had a pipe joint failure in the water distribution unit for a water-cooled IBM mainframe. We were down for 4 days. Contributing factors were:
Draining a 10,000 gallon storage tank (data center on the 14th floor, storage tank on the roof of the 45-story building) in part because no one had told the machine operators where the shutoff valves were (under the false floor).
The water got into the main power duct and blew out a two-story high main bus bar for half the building. (We were in San Francisco, the replacement was air freighted in from Chicago.)
The ultimate cause was a manufacturing defect waer distribution unit.
