I don't know if this has crossed anyone else's mind, but if one power distribution system in one core hosting facility can cause this much disruption to this many people, can you imagine what a coordinated attack (9/11-alike) would do to the UK's e-infrastructure?

Has the government and / or the larger service providers got a contingency plan for something on that scale? I think not...

It took nine hours to replace a breaker. How much to replace a whole facility?
