I know I am going to regret posting, but the article says that the heater drained the batteries and then later says that an associate dean from the college "Heard" someone forgot to turn a breaker back on. Each scenario has it's own implications and issues. Did the system fail because the batteries died (engineering fail), or did it fail because someone forgot to turn the breaker on (maintenance fail)? Each side here is choosing the one they think is the right one.

Great piece of reporting there. Contradicting facts are sloppy journalism and sadly accepted as good works.
