The Cataclysm (September 2025)

In the early hours of September 22, 2025, while diligently printing, Big Bird suffered a cataclysmic event, temporarily knocking it out of service. As there were no witnesses to the event itself, the exact cause is unknown, but the likely cause, as diagnosed by the first witness to arrive at the scene (and initiator of the print) was General Incompetence on the part of the initiator of the print.
