Losing data on ext3 is a bit odd.
I have 50 servers running, they have all seen hard power off's. Once all at the
same time! I have even powered off machines while in the middle of an fsck and
never lost any daya. I suspect that you may have had some other issues that led
to the non-recoverable data issue.
