“Al Qaida Claims Responsibility For Blackout”
EXCERPT:
""The communiqué assured that the operation ‘was carried out on the orders of Osama bin Laden to hit the pillars of the U.S. economy,’ as ‘a realization of bin Laden’s promise to offer the Iraqi people a present.’ "

great link, I read that and tried to see if any news program analysing the outage goes into teh details about the lack of infrastructure modernization funding and other programmes which did not get W's blessing. sadly no program got into the discussion of how it got where it is..
^ But its sad to see the heart of Canada go out along with the US...
i agree it's sad but, just as a quick note, not all of Canada was affected...western Canada was not and, as far as i am aware, neither were the maritime provinces. Basically just Toronto and surrounding areas close to TO (not to imply that that didn't cause many problems for Torontonians, manifestly it did).

Yeah, but do you see my blaming canada? Quite frankly I dont care but it was funny how Canada went out due to a problem located in Ohio

US turns to India to tackle power cuts!
it is much better humans control load shedding instead of computers

The report quoted R P Singh, chairman of India’s Power Grid Corporation, as saying the US could learn two things:
First, do not rely on automation; India, for example, has engineers in charge of load distribution 24 hours a day.
Re: US turns to India to tackle power cuts!
Rvikz come on, dont even compare North America’s power record with India’s!!! RP Singh should keep his mouth shut, as his remarks are totally out of place.
Re: US turns to India to tackle power cuts!
This has got to be a joke. :rotfl:
