Power outages New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco

Cheerful Spring

I just saw this online is weird. Could this be a cyber attack on America infrastructure?


On Friday morning a trio of concurrent power outages hobbled New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, three of America’s fastest moving cities. Here’s everything we know so far about what happened.

I just leave the link here for people to read it https://www.inverse.com/article/30635-everything-we-know-la-nyc-sf-power-outages

@Murica. Investing in foreign wars instead of infrastructure, since 1912..

Some people in LAX had to use the stairs because the escalators were out.

Oh, the inhumanity! ISIS, why did you have to sink so low?!

No Top 20 media organisation reporting on it, therefore fake/mickeymouse news.

The power went off in the three cities around the same time. Could be a cover up?

CNN not reporting it's a Cyber attack. The only reason they would not cover it. They are the mouthpiece of the establishment.

I'd reckon all the American media is American biased.

California can never keep the lights on. Brown outs and blackouts were common when I lived there

Even Cleveland probably want the Browns out at this stage to be honest.

So some yank on what looks like a glorious sunny day in San Francisco is worried about his "freezer, his food and ........... his cat"

I'm trying to work out what his cat does all day normally that requires electric... PlayStation perhaps.....????

The only people who should be concerned are serial killers who keep bodies in the freezer imo.....

The Americans, never did build a proper national grid to avoid these power issues, most European cities have several power lines & substations to avoid such large scale power cuts if one part goes bang!

Maybe he did a DIY job of it and cryogenically froze the cat when it died.

Christ, we lost power in east Donegal for awhile on Friday too, IT IS A COORDINATED ATTACK, targeting all of Earth's strategic areas

The cat reference is probably related to use of an auto feeder?

I remember when I was working in White Plains, NY.

A sub blew in Manhatthan and caused a power outage all the way to White Planins. It was a lovely day and got to drink beer and eat ice cream all day when I got back to Yonkers as the shop we lived above was selling very cheap Ice cream and beer.

Was also working there in 2003 when the eastern sea front had a power outage. NY was very nervous that day as there was a building in downtown on fire.

Turned into an epic weekend. Was meant to fly to Tronto but couldn't. Rented a car and drove with some randomers. The craic and drinking on the 7 hour drive was mighty (maybe not for the driver!)

It's the influence of the inbound Nibiru & the Anunnaki ****ing with the planet. Expect more of this type of incident before total annihilation in October.

I'd a brown out the other day, I wasn't expecting it at all, I thought it was just a fart, I thought I was safe. Had to have a shower to clean up the mess.

You need to check out adult nappies. I'm told they are a life saver.

They voted to either repeal or replace some of the 8th amendment at the citizens assembly, then the power went out...

People stuck in elevators? Surely there's some fail safe that if power cuts out theres enoght backup power that the lift can drop back to the previous floor and let people out.. Or is that too much logic for one day.

You'd think so, for fire safety at least?

A sign saying "In case of fire do not use the elevators " is much cheaper.

Unless they're already using the elevator when the fire breaks out or is first noticed or I suppose, at the point the power cuts out. Although I'm not sure it would happen like that!

No one will install such a system in US lifts, anything that allows "untrained" users to operate equipment using safety overrides, leave the building owners open to being sued if anything was to go wrong. Ambulance chasers would have a field day if a lift got stuck in a power cut and the users used the override to go to the next floor and something went wrong.

But there wouldn't be a need for anyone to override anything.

The lift will do it by itself.

The lifts computer notices a power cut, switches the lift over to a mode which, either gose to the floor below or above and opens the doors. It then won't do anything else until if senses normal power has returned.

Enron used to engineer these. Divert power from California to somewhere like New Mexico then re-import it back into another part California.

The power shortages they caused meant they could charge top dollar for the energy they diverted.

Of course it put a lot more power on the long distance links.

Sadly, Tower 7 collapsed under its own weight and all those shenanigans got consigned to Davey jones locker. No paper, no proof. On the back of that, and in the spirit of Enron, I'm gonna say "prove that Capt'n Midnight" and ask for links.

Enron had a history of manipulating the supply such that there was even a film made about their antics, google it as I can't be bothered!

Oh no, it's real. Great podcast I've come across recently called The Dollop (well researched historical stories from US history one friend tells another - both guys are comedians, so it's very entertaining at the same time). Enron literally set up a marketplace where people could sell their leftover bandwidth to other people who needed bandwidth. That makes as little sense as it sounds, the lads were literally making sh*t up as they went! :pac:

47:00 is where they start talking about the electricity, but I really recommend the whole podcast (and the episode 'Tylenol Man' which is just one of the most ridiculous stories of a person you'd ever hear). Brief summary - Enron intentionally overloaded some power lines while refusing to use others to cause all of those 'rolling blackouts' that were on the news in the early 2000s in the US (I remember it most because of speculation if the internet, mobile phones, iPods etc were a sign humanity was using too much electricity)... their reason for this was "because we wanted to - it makes the eyes pop".

Another thing they would do to avoid price caps California had in place on electricity costs (Enron's exact words): "our traders would be able to buy electricity for $250 in California, and then we would sell it to Arizona for $1,200, and then resell it to California for five times that" - end result, $10 worth of electricity is now $600 for absolutely no reason, with Enron upping the costs further when they deliberately book the lines to cause potential blackouts and price gauge.

Can't stress how much people should listen to that podcast to get an idea of just how scummy and brazen Enron and large companies alike can be with this stuff. It is funny at the same time, though!

Sadly, Tower 7 collapsed because no airplanes hit it. So all that ^. while true, is just hearsay.

People who believe 9/11 was not a false flag event. I would tell them watch this video.

It's the video that convinced me of a 9/11 cover up You see stuff in this video that proves the Pentagon attack was staged.

If John Kennedy killing was a conspiracy? We got a secret agenda at play for 60 year's at least, look nobody else besides Oswald was found guilty!
