Photos coming out look scary - https://twitter.com/hapticmusing/status/1369601127520464897

Not sure when the Internet community saw the case of such a massive fire which destroyed the whole datacenter. 
Have heard of minor cases here in the past and there & were mostly contained to few racks/DC rooms etc. Based on datacenters I have seen - pretty much all of them have those big fancy fire doors to contain fire in a give "DC room". Gotta see what report comes out eventually about the engineering failure.

On good part all their employees are safe.

Seems like OVH (a major hosting player) had a major incident a few hours ago in their Strasbourg (France) datacenter. 


Last update an hour ago from their CEO has been destruction of their datacenter SBG2: 
Update 5:20pm. Everybody is safe.
Fire destroyed SBG2. A part of SBG1 is destroyed. Firefighters are protecting SBG3. no impact SBG4.

I am not aware of any big brand hosted over there but numerous small companies host directly/indirectly over there. Your users will find random websites/applications not working today.
