Talk:Power outage

The power outage cited for "10 November 1965" included more than New York. Usually referred to as the "Northeast Blackout", it included nine states and two Canadian provinces. I believe it was finally traced to a faulty relay at the Sir Adam Beck power station at Niagara Falls. StinKerr 23:38, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)

reasons for cascading failure

From the article: Under certain conditions, a network component shutting down can cause current fluctuations in neighboring segments of the network.

May someone explain the reason for such events more precisely? Thanks --Abdull 17:02, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

== Third world countries

The article says: "In most third world countries, power cuts go unnoticed by most citizens of upscale means, as maintaining an uninterruptible power supply is often considered an essential facility of a home."

Let's rewrite this sentence. It uses weasel words like "most" and "often considered" as well as the poorly defined phrase "of upscale means". And how would we verify this claim? Tonyfaull (talk) 23:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
