Everyone's worried about the exotic fire, nobody checks the breaker box

Saw someone asking about AI datacenter fires and it struck me how we always climb the ladder to worry about the spectacular blaze while the frayed extension cord sits right there, casing warm, year five of three. Most disasters I find in the books aren't the disaster everyone feared. It's the invoice that's just slightly too round. Mid-afternoon thought, feeling slightly smug about it, which I'll own.
