Damn Electricians..... ;)

Leave it to ONE sparky, to put millions out of power. That are unprepared, and rendered helpless in a minute.

I mean crying over an overnight power outage?

How would a person like that deal with a real disaster?

Not even a major one...just a little one.

The concern is raw sewerage that got dumped when the treatment plant pumps failed.

Read as:  They converted to the Tijuana treatment system.  :P

I'm not exposing anything on here that HOPEFULLY our illustrious Homeland Security Agency hasn't already figured out, but take out some lowly isolated substations that are unguarded with nothing more than chain link fence, and you could put major cities in the dark for days even weeks with simple items....

Whatever happened to the Boy Scout Motto?????

Like I posted before, When the zombies come, there will be many that just won't make it.

I just got done reading "Cyber War" by Richard Clarke, the whole grid can be taken out with a few key strokes by hackers in about 30 countries.

Or for that matter a good hacker can control the grid. A lot of plants are run on AGC.

Obama's "Smart grid" makes them even more vulnerable too.

Even though you want to, I really don't think Obama is to blame for this outage Tom.

Heck No,....This is Bush's fault....C'mon now,....he let the "delicate" nature of the grid decline.....Surely one sparky doing "maint." could never knock out millions of folks, and 500,000 volt main grid power lines,,....

Cheney probably something to do with it too....
