One of my first jobs in IT I worked in a local newspaper - I thought I wanted to be a journalist turns out it's boring. Anyway we had all the old archived papers on a dvd and someone used it as a coaster and erased about 10 years worth of files. Naturally there were zero backups, so that data was just gone. Fantastic.
Fortunately the local library has backups but they're on microfiche, so not particularly convenient. I think Google might have scanned them now though so they're probably archived again.

For the AI training data probably
Also they started doing it way back in 2005, when they were just doing whatever thier engineers thought would be useful and ensure they kept market share of search. (before Prabhakar Raghavan took over)
