CNN.com – As power slowly returns, the questions begin – Aug. 15, 2003
The above article is a nice example of how authorities always try to blame others for mistakes and problems.
Since I’m not old enough to consiously remember the poweroutage in new York in ’77, this one is having more of an impact.
It was really weird seeing all the footage from a blocked up Times Square, people running around with flashlights and candles.
Good to see though that – once again – New Yorkers are not in a state of panic.
The power outtage in New York comes at a moment that we just had some outtages here in Holland as well. This was caused by a heatwave we had and people were using way to much electricity and the power plants had problems cooling their turbines.
However: it does match up with the scale we had them in Holland.
I do agree though, the big question is: how did this happen?
