$38 Billion - OOPS!

Wow now here is a big time OOPS. Seems an IT (Information Technology) techie accidentally wiped out the primary and backup drives of a system which held the information for a $38 billion oil funded account in Alaska. Man you think this guy still has a job? They said no one pointed any fingers and there was no witch hunt but dang how could someone not lose their job over this one? That guy should have flown to Vegas with his life saving and put it all on the line with that kind of luck.
Being an IT worker throughout my career though I know how this guy must have felt when it was realized what happened. I bet there was a run on Tums wherever he was when he found out how bad it was.
