Fire Destroys Iron Mountain Data Warehouse, Argentina's Bank Records Lost

Posted by Soulskill on from the offsite-backups-are-for-wimps dept.

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."

    Have a little respect for the emergency responders that died, just like the people who died back in Rio Tercero when Menem made it blow to cover his arms trading...

    Or the 3000 killed by USaudIsrael on 9/11.
