A mobile phone is no use without a power supply to the cell masts. It's the entire eastern coast as well.

Should have posted this in the first place but was just rushing to get it out (you know what i mean  ) Now i sound like an overexcited journo
For people who cant get to a tv,New York is just full of ppl walking home or something but it's mainly Eastern America and some parts of Canada that have had a full power blackout.
New York city,Detroit and Cleveland all have no power and in New York there are NO buses or trains.(fery boats are still GO tho).
And there is NO terrorism links.
Looks like everything is on hold for you peeps  and it looks very hot over there  |

It DOES look hot! and very uncomfi. Imagina... you're WALKING... you're REALLY trying to get off manhattan.... there is NO terrorist link... yet there are sirens and helicopters everywhere.... lemme tell you (just spoke to my friend) it is noy exactly comfi....
Poor folks I feel for them.
So wot is it? there is one report that says 'black ou't at power station at Niagara Falls' and another that says 'Power Plant on fire in NY'??

This has happened before (domino effect) it was attributed last time to a bad relay. You would have thought they would have put procedures in place to prevent it from happening again?
Maybe they will this time..... |

We take electricity for granted now don't we, well a while ago i saw a scientist warning us that we may loose electricity as we know it, YES that sounds like TOTAL CRAP, but he explained that the earths magnetic field has swopped around with regular intervals every 100,00 years, according to history the poles swop over as part of a natural occurance with all magnetic fields & guess what ...we are expecting it again, it would COMPLETELY SCREW all our systems & create world turmoil.
Have a nice day !  |
