  Real IT workers..

  on Another Story Of A 'Fake' Brilliant Inventor? Is 'Scorpion Walter O'Brien' A Real Computer Security Genius?
  I have been doing IT work for 15 years.. If this was at all based on a real life situation all those planes would have crashed..
  
  Holes in the story..
  1. Drives cannot be destroyed by GM's brand of Door speakers, the magnets are not big enough to destroy a disk drive, unless said disk drive is one of the original drives from the early 90's or 80's, which is fine, but then, those drives did not work in BLADE based servers, of that generation in that "warehouse".
  2. You can't T-bone a Dodge truck in a Tahoe, at 100+ MPH and get out and make a call, and be fine.. No blood, no pain, no nothing.. right..
  3. At 200MPH in a Ferrari, under a plane, if you tried to stand up, you would be instantly sucked out of the car, and the Cat5 Cable would not drop down without being blown back..
  
  Aside from just the common sense,
  why wouldn't you just simply pull the network plug?
  You then wouldn't get your backup, and you could use a USB or cross over cable to pull the data.. Not having to transport the drive at all..
  
  The story had potential, but there is no way that is a genius computer engineer..
