Power Outage Wreaks Havoc in NYC: “There Appears to Have Been No Plan for This Type of Catastrophic Failure” |
An electricity supply grid is not a thing that can be closed down,fixed and then started again. A lot of sticky tape and patching goes on, constantly.
When a patch collapses t puts an extra load on the other working patches and the general grid. The longer that any fault continues the bigger the effect on the whole grid.
