Fire Destroys Iron Mountain Data Warehouse, Argentina's Bank Records Lost
cagraham writes "A fire at Iron Mountain's data warehouse in Buenos Aires left the facility 'ruined' and killed nine first-responders, according to the Washington Post. The origin of the fire is unknown. The facility was supposedly equipped with sprinkler systems, fire control systems, and had a private emergency team on standby. Among the records destroyed are Argentina's bank archives, the loss of which could have some surprisingly far-reaching implications."
Kewl.
Well, hopefully that Iron Mountain facility was storing their backups offsite at a safe, secure location.
I know it's horrible that some first responders died in this, but I have to ask if anyone's looked to see if there have been any new hand-crafted soap manufacturers and/or liposuction clinic thefts in the area lately...

Just need fire to destroy all data then you won't have to be gone....
Whoa, I don't think ever seen that low a UID here before.. or I just never noticed. I thought you had all died out by now.
Why not tie a bunch of balloons to your house and float it on over to Argentina. Their banks are getting a fresh new start, mortgages should be cheap.
Look back up at my post, now look back down, you're on the Internet. Now look back up. I'm a signature.
You can see what it looks like here.
Much like anything else on the internet, if you want to see something done, just announce loudly that it's not possible.
There are no THREE DIGIT ID posters left on Slashdot
... to copy their backup of the data...
No, dude. I'm totally logged-in. I think my password got leaked a little while ago, though...
Maybe Dice has wisely realized that we're all really coming to Slashdot for the wonderful summaries and ads, not the comments.
The cow says "Moo." The dog says "Woof." The Timothy says "Thanks, valued customer. We appreciate your input."
That's half of what's left!!

This seems to be the standard way to make inconvenient records disappear. http://youtu.be/hZEvA8BCoBw

That was exactly my first recollection reading this story: building 7.
That's correct, only two digits are left. Also I never post anymore and barely read the site anymore.
There are firewalls everywhere (and I mean the physical kind)
And there is you have the culprit. Walls of fire should not be placed anywhere near anything you don't want to burn. "But the Mount of Doom has a lot of fire" you say. Yeah, and it didn't do them any good, now did it? Just use a few more Orc patrols and be done with it. It may seem more expensive, but at least you won't have problems with people accidentally catching on fire and burning everything.
according to my records, Argentinas banks owe me a trillion dollars.
At your age, it's probably just cataracts.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
