InterNAP Power Outage Curse?

Om Malik writes over on his GigaOm blog:

InterNAP, the data center company which has been around for a while has been hit with a strange sort of a curse - curse of power outages. A few weeks ago, a power outage in LA caused one of their data centers to hit the deck, taking along with it MySpace, the social networking giant.
