A construction crew pinned two service lines to the same telephone pole despite the speaker's warnings. A semi-truck accident destroyed the pole and both lines, proving why critical infrastructure needs 100% redundancy to survive single-point failures.
So finally, we're at the end of this project. The lines come in, they're coming from different regions. But I take a day off, I think I was on vacation. I come back on provisioning day and they had pinned up both of the lines on the same telephone line or the telephone pole coming into the building off the road. And I'm standing out there, "You can't have these here. You've gotta move this." The construction folks are mad at me. Everybody's upset. "You gotta move it. We're not done. It's gotta move. It's gotta come over there." And I walk away. An hour later, An hour later, a big semi-truck hauling a load gets into an accident and runs over that single telephone pole. And I don't know if fate was there that day. I'm not really sure, but I still remember that as going, yep, that's, that's why we talk about 100%.
