      <![CDATA[<p>"Never underestimate the power of a backhoe."</p>

<p>Every once in a while, you'll see a story about a backhoe operator who didn't just cut off a business, but multiple city blocks by whomping through some buried cables.</p>

<p>But also worth noting is that a single point of failure can be a source of cascading failure.  This was shown in 2003 when that one power plant's problems ended up knocking out power to 50 million people the Northeastern U.S. and Canada.  Technically, this shouldn't have happened, but it did.</p>]]>
