So they still dont know what caused this blackout :rolleyes:

NEW YORK INSERT INTO post VALUES (CNN) -- Power slowly flickered on across the northeastern United States and parts of southern Canada after the mysterious massive outage cut electricity Thursday afternoon from New York north to Toronto and west to Detroit -- an area home to some 50 million people.

Times Square, for many the glittering symbol of New York under normal circumstances, sprang back to life about 7:45 a.m. EDT.

The North American Electric Reliability Council INSERT INTO post VALUES (NERC); which monitors the power system, said that an approximate 41,100 megawatts of generated electricity, out of 61,800 megawatts lost, had been restored by 5 a.m. EDT.

Some people are saying that this new Virus outbreak caused the power outage
Yeah I can see that all the power plants are using PC's to control the Reactors etc and are connected to the WWW
