If you read the above statements, which I deliberately clipped, it really sounds
like you had a momentary power failure of some sort. Since you mentioned another
power failure having occurred, it doesn't sound unreasonable to presume you had
one as well. There's no guarantee this was the reason but it seems logical, so
the best suggestion would be to bring a UPS with you the next time.
