Another one (thanks Brian Pardy for his story which reminded me of this) A UK utility company had one of its data centres in a lower ground floor, with a loading bay outside. Delivery truck's brakes failed on the down ramp, and the fire doors - though designed to open outwards only - unsurprisingly proved a poor match against the accumulated momentum of the incoming 20 ton truck.
