"An Aug. 29 power outage that left half of the New York City Transit (NYCT) subway system at a standstill was caused by someone manually activating a power off switch. The switch in question lacked a protective plastic cover that could have prevented it being activated."

Surprised nobody posted about this yet.  The bit about this shitshow being caused by somebody pressing the wrong button cracked me the f**k up, honestly.
