speculating on cause and effect, my first bet would that someone turned off spanning tree on a trunk or trunks immediately prior to the flood. my next bet would be a babbling device - i've seen an unauthorized hub on a flat layer 2 net basically shut the network down. it was after a power hit. when we found the buggar and power cycled it, all was well. i don't think that the researcher was the culprit. more likely the victim.
