Small screws, big damage

This picture was taken by Bruno Calamia, a Swiss inspector of electrical installations with a habit of taking a digital camera on his rounds.  A small screw, when loose can cause big damages. In buildings using a lot of computers, such as this one, damages can easily reach many 1000's of euros, for example through fire caused by poor contacts or overvoltages resulting from interrupting the neutral conductor.
