Massive power failure in London!!

Not much is known at the moment, except that it appears to be a national grid failure, street lights are out and the Tubes are shut down.

Sound familar to anyone??

Can't be a total national grid failure...

As my prescence here demonstrates...

The UK engineers were predicting this shit a day after the Northeast's blackout. Anyone find the timing extraordinarily conveninet and weird???

Ahhh...the tests are almost complete. First the heat ray tested over Paris and now our EMP projector in London. Once we test the rabid gerbil swarms our triumvirate of superweapons will be ready for deployment.

Sue Gill from EDF Energy said: "It seems that one of the National Grid circuits that feeds south London has failed.

Move the NYC blackout from "natural cause" to "suspicious cause"

That's odd...doesn't the same company who owns the uk national grid own the northeast american grid? I heard that somewhere.

And it best not happen on saturday! I'll be down at the PS2 Experience!

Im not sure if earls court was affected... (it is at earls court right?)

But i expect it will be fixed by tomorrow... it isn't anywhere near as big as a problem as what happened in the states... luckily

There was a powercut in my city?
Really?

*shrug* didn't hit me.

Zac Naloen · Post by **Zac Naloen** » 2003-08-28 03:39pm

south london was the hardest hit stretching down to ashford... if your on the northern side if the river, chances are you wouldn't have been hit
