Blackout of 2003 - Metal Koola - 08-15-2003
Just wondering who here was effected by it. I was at work when it happened, we all got to go home early and I got paid for the whole day after working for only 2 hours! So yeah, it wasn't so bad to me.

Not sure exactly where you live 18, but I heard southern parts of Canada were affected as well. Good to hear that you weren't hit though, and I am far away from it, safe in Miami.

I heard Ontario was hit as well. Did anyone ever actually hear what the cause was? I heard some powerplant near Niagra Falls was hit by lightning. Anyone hear something else?

hmm, why do I not believe that?

Jeroen is almost right, but not quite.
What happened (from what I heard from the news) was that one of the powerplants in Canada (I think it was Canada) had shut down, and the energy flow stopped flowing to one of our powerplants, and since there was no energy being brought in, they had to shut down our power plant, which caused a sort of "Chain reaction" that caused several to shut down.
People were afraid that there was a massive fire, but the smoke they had seen rising into the air, was only from the powerplant as they shut off the generators. They said was "completely natural" for the smoke to rise after shutting it down. And that none of this had anything to do with an "act of terrorism".

How long did it take you to learn that song? How many times did you watch that episode?

Ubuu, I feel sad to say that I know you made mistakes in there! They weren't very big mistakes, but whatever.
