Here is the video people are talking about, re: US Military Training Exercise in downtown Los Angeles 2 days ago: https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3020674#submissionTop The Wells Fargo Building looks like some type of back office Operations centers, where they process REGIONAL (So. California) daily banking activity.  The WFB fire alarm incident took place at 5am this morning at a DATA CENTER in Minnesota.. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/07/wells-fargo-reports-outage-on-mobile-app-and-online-banking.html Data Centers are where a large bank like this, would process all the daily bank activity from all systems and all regions across the nation.  A more likely location to disrupt ON LINE Applications all across the nation.  Someone just reported the following: My fiancee works at a Wells Fargo campus,NOT a branch. Messaged me all systems down. E-mail,tele-meetings system, databases for primary duties unavailable. Seems like a major deal. https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3022234  This sounds like they have some servers that had to be taken down, and are possibly under attack by a Stuxnet type virus or something like that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet All banks are required to have back up Hot Sites, so that there is no disruption in business (disaster recovery / business continuity plans).  Sounds like there must have been some flaws in their BC plans.  UPDATE:  Just saw this comment left at a Daily Mail article on this (which says some ATM's were not working as well): https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.dailymail.co.uk%2F1s%2F2019%2F02%2F07%2F18%2F9526646-6679241-image-m-38_1549563532915.jpg&t=1549593195&ymreqid=8092f53d-71a8-9e1b-2fa8-32014d010000&sig=.KfM9ZwRom1K8_bkjvV1ew--~C DR = Disaster Recovery plans BC = Business Continuity plans (for when a disaster happens). Be sure and read the comments here, some are a hoot! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6679241/Wells-Fargo-hit-nationwide-outage.html  Some background: A major bank like this (4th largest in the country) is deemed a critical financial infrastructure to our country, and as such is required to have very carefully planned Disaster Recovery plans, including hot back up operations sites.    The back up hot sites are required to be at different physical locations miles apart from each other, sometimes in different states, so that in the event of a devastating earthquake or tornado or fire, or hurricane, etc, a disaster hitting one plysical location operation site, the primary site, it will not impact the back up hot site, and vice versa. Hot Site = a back up site, many miles away physically from the primary operations site, that is maintained with parallel system processing, so that if the primary site experiences a disaster, the backup HOT SITE, immediately gets switched to ON.  This is in contrast to a cold site which would require some start up time before it could be used.  A back up HOT SITE should be operational, and running parallel 24/7, at least data wise...staff would have to travel to the back up site.  That is the theory.  Obviously something went terribly wrong today with WFB Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plans.  My guess is today they discovered an overlooked weakness in their plans. I don't think one can conclude that because there was a major outage today, means that it was planned by WFB. No company would do that on purpose, and risk losing customers.  On the other hand, someone triggering the fire alarm should NOT have shut down the Primary Operating site, if it was a false alarm as they say, let alone the back up hot site too which is located miles away, maybe in another state.  So, that doesn't make sense.  But that seems to be the official explanation. My guess is they were hit with some type of severe virus that ran its course before it was caught impacting both primary and back up sites. The virus, coupled with some flaws in their DR/BC plans, did the trick, and took them down, something they are no doubt correcting as we speak.
