Even more amazing is that they didn't have a backup for a situation like this.

Interesting story out of San Francisco. A network administrator, Terry Childs is holding San Fran's municipal data network hostage. For reason's that ABC News has not be able to discover, Childs placed a password on the area's FibreWAN, a network that he was instrumental in creating. Unfortunately for the city, that network also has about 60% of the municipalities data and is not completely inaccesible.

As of now, no motivation is being reported and Terry is being held on charges of network tampering.
