From the Times.
It sounds like a serious incident, but I don't see reporting on it elsewhere.
Did anyone experience it?

Curiously there was a power outage in my district of Shenzhen, China, at almost exactly the same time. Spooky Smile

My mistake on no reporting, there is a short description here.

It was our Imperialistic Hallibutron War Machine draining energy from other countries for our own nefarious needs.

Well, maybe not. I hadnt heard anything about power outages. I guess think of this as a free bump.

Nothing special, judging by the coverage a couple of independent failures and knock-on effects. Only 30-40 minutes to restore power apparently. Multiplying a bunch of very low probabilities does not mean never.
