I have to say though, I was amazed to see them running again by the end of the day!
Yup...that story of what happened is correct. when they got it off the field, there was basicly just a nicle gooey, clump of black plactic stuck to their polycarbinate electrical board. MOE sent a so called "swat pit crew team" over to help them get up and running again. We also helped them put on some things that weren't there, and made me wonder about the inspections process...they had no 40 amp fuses...
