The Planet Transformer Explosion


Im sure everyone is aware of the problems at the planet. One question I had as an observer was what exactly is a 'transformer explosion' After doing a bit of searching i came across this:

http://valleywag.com/tech/clips/vide...ike-321916.php

If this, or similar happened, then they are doing incredibly well to even try to get the servers back online, the building must be a mess.

While searching one thing that was very aparent is that 'they arent made like they used to be' Transformers are being increasingly over loaded and cheaply made which is going to lead to more incidents like these in the future.

You are correct , the explosion knocked down 3 walls surrounding the electrical equipment.
