» Example of accident:
Susan was working overtime on her computer, using the Internet.
She lost her Internet connection. There were no network technicians at work at that hour.
She thought a cable might be cut or short, so she went to check it out.
I told her to leave it for the network technicians, but she thought she could fix the problem.
While she was looking, she accidentally disconnected some cables and didn’t know how to
reconnect them.
The entire network stopped working.
I called the network engineer and told him what happened.
The network engineer told one of the network technicians to get to the office early in the
morning to fix the problem before anyone arrived.
