Where were you during the Blackout of 8-14-2003?

[Erwin]

From what I heard in the news it was a fire in one power station that led to a domino effect that affected other power stations.

One thing though - although this was not a terrorist attack, it surely must have given them some ideas on how to cripple North America.

Most definitely it did and I can bet that terrorists will be involved in something like this in the future.

It's actually very scary. Their forcasted ideas were to attack nuke plants. Now that they know they can destabilize a region by hurting a conventional power plant, who knows what they may think of to cause caous.

i honestly doubt it was anything related to terriost. why?

for years our powergrid has sucked and there has been talk about trying to fix it, what happened happened because of a huge surge of power ran over ++++ty wires and eccentialy fried :\

What happend still has not been 100% confirmed. They have assigned a task force to get to the bottom of what happend. What everyone is saying has not been confirmed, so we really do not know.

I'm in the Ontario part of it. But we live in the second grid area from the Buce Nuclear Power so we had power about 6 hours after it went down.

Also the damn poswer was going off and one for periods of about 3 hours. Sucked sooooo bad.

Also there was no fire. They have no clue what happen. All the safty's went on like 20 diffrn't Power Plants.

And MSNBC News Articals are probley the best layed out on the whole story.

And 3 people died 2 in Ontario and one in New York. I think they also said over 60 fires due to candles.

i was wit my fellow workers when we closed the wendys because obvious the power wasnt comming on so we went to a fellow workers house for a party daily thing not because of blackout but anyway we went to liz house for the party.
i needed to get home and change out of my work clothes so i barrowed her car and went home who thought that it was a piece of crap i got home and on the way back it died. so i walked allthe way to her house a good hour finally get there tell her it broke down. i go in the little party we have. so were sitting there ppl leave in and out eventually its 2 am.
we go to use the payphone so my manager could call his girlfriend. after hes done we get picked up by the cops because of a cleveland curfue. they decided to let us go since we were a street away from the party. everyone was gone by the time we got back so we decided to spend the night at the assistant manager since his girlfriend was out of town so me him and his lifelong friend guel we go in the party and buy stuff out there refridgerator because his house didnt have any food. so we bought some ramon noodles 10 pack of minutemais applejuice boxes and some doughnuts then we went to his house and had a little bday party for me we had cake (doughnuts), boiled water chilled to ice water, juice ,noodles, 1 candle and some smoke.
slept on the couch and woke up to no electricity it came on later then we went home.

but when i got home my mom said she had plased a missing persons report with the police :-\ seing as all the phone are wireless i could not call home and my cell phone was not working. so i kinda was stuck and she keeps talking about when i go out she asks when you gonna be home tomarrow ?
