Was it because they were responsible for destroying customers equipment in their overheated datacenter?
My equipment was running right next to those S5 when they
allegedly got too toasty. Not a single machine of mine was damaged, power supplies just as solid as ever and all of them are still running as I type at my own facility.
I feel bad for the guy that has his machines damaged, but I honestly don't think it was any kind of intentional or willful neglect of oversight. Even though I no longer need a hosting facility I would have no qualms using them again, even after this incident. Kind of like how Jack in the Box after the ecoli incident was probably the safest fast food place to eat.
It appears more then allegedly -

Having a data center you are agreeing to host peoples gear. You have a responsibility to keep environment safe. If it was something out of their control it's a different story. But reading temp's and even adding cooling gear if needed before hurting gear is well within what is expected.
