When a machine or device violently explodes unexpectedly, it creates a huge toxic plume of smoke, chemicals, and shrapnel.

What happens when you've lost your job...marriage...start up. Days of eating junk food, drinking alcohol, and forgetting to clean (anything).
I stopped by Phil's and he was still so broken up about losing his job he was lost in a pile of failure filth.

Catastrophic RAID failure means your ultra-secret data saw the attack helicopters over the horizon and locked itself in the impenetrable underground bunker and detonated landmines and deployed automated weaponry all around the base. Enemy forces were wiped out in their entirety.
The good news is that your data is secure and bravely refused to allow itself to be compromised. Bad news is that I don't think your data is ever coming out of there again.

Hello,
Unfortunately earlier today the host that your VPS resides on had suffered a catastrophic RAID failure and was irrecoverable. We had attempted to restore the data but were unsuccessful. We have since created a new container and emailed you the new login information. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Failure doesn't have to be something you repeat, but if you do repeat it, and if it does take 50 times to learn something, then take 50 times to learn something.
