I am working on migrating the data center for one of my clients to an off-site location for this very reason. We had a structural engineer to an analysis of the building and he was surprised the server hadn't crashed through the floor. He said the only thing saving us was that the server were closer to the wall than the middle of the concrete slab, therefor putting most of the weight on the wall.

PS: The current data center is on the second floor. Imagine if that fell through...

Wonder what that crash costs in damaged hardware?
