During work on a car manufacturer’s low voltage installation an explosion occurs. A medevac helicopter airlifts two employees to a hospital. The explosion resulted in a fire, with noxious fumes being released from burning PVC insulation. The cable space, together with the server room, is partially burned out. At the time, the manufacturer had no recovery option and was able to restore even limited operations only after several weeks. Premises were quickly found, but achieving data connectivity took the most time.
