We were working in the windowless factory in an area without emergency lighting when the power died. Fortunately I always carried a mini Mag-Lite, so I was able to escort everyone else out of the area safely.
Our computer system crashed a few hours later, when we learned that the electricial who had wired the generator had wired the automatic fuel transfer pump for the huge fuel tank to ... the mains. Ooops.
