Obviously it could have been avoided if Delta had a business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) plan. Common sense and risk management requirements tell you they probably did. So what failed? Was it ever tested? Was it human error? Did the invoice for backup power equipment sit on some bean counters desk thinking he was saving the company a few thousand?
