It's either 100lb or 100Kg, with a direct hit on a dense centre, it would damage a lot of racks, but if it's oblique, or indirect, impartial, the damage could be less pronounced. They could also be misrepresenting by diminishing the damage as there's a lot of information suppression going on.
I think during the OVH fire, it was the smoke damage that was deemed to have damaged a lot of the servers.
Fans and cooling might be affected by all the debris. Spinning rust drives often have breathing holes, too.
Absolutely. So many failure modes. Literally even just 'things falling over'.
