That was 25 Broadway (Telehouse USA).  The air intake filter for their
generator clogged from all the WTC dust in the air.  Pretty rare
circumstance...

There were some initial reports that this was the case, but I have
never seen the final report from Telehouse what the final analysis
found.  If you remember there were also reports about a water pump
failure, raditor clogging, etc.
