There are power failures all over the North East of America and parts of Canada. No one knows whats gone wrong yet. There are thousands of people in the streets. What do you think is happening? Terroism or just a very big problem with their power grid.

there are no computors, traffic lights, aircon, air traffic control tv etc etc. it's a massive area ...if it's terrorists it's fucking clever and frightenening.
Well i think its terrorist although the americans could make the biggest power fuck up ever
A lot of the places will have emergency batteries backing them up though, such as lifts, computers, air traffic control etc. Theres a lot of technology put in place for events such as this...
I doubt terrorists have the experience, knowledge or capability to be doing something this large a scale though. And even so, Its more of an annoyance than a problem.
Yes, but how could terrorists access multiple power plants undetected?
Im just sceptical of terrorism since the americans launched the "war on terrorism"
This is happening in America.... It must be aliens
What is that supposed to mean?
come to think of it, it does remind me of independance day...
Thats what I thought. Did you want it to be terroists?
Its better if it is just a power failure really, if its terrorists 99% of america's population will get the gas masks etc out again...
hay thats not a bad thing, this country was doing it in the 40's
The yanks just have to catch up and are starting to realise that there is a big bad world past their seas and it can get them.
They always wounder why there are no bins on the underground or around most of london's tourist attractions.
Thats what 30 odd years of bombing campaigns does to a city i guess...
stop it, your scaring me old man!
Its the aliens!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
:nervous:
oh how fragile our high tech lives are aye!
I assure you he didnt phrase it wrong , if you read his posts in the politics board you will see his attitude towards America.
Maybe if Bush got sucked into a power station or something.
the world would be a better place
ok he has a point but what about england or anyother country? Every country as done shitty things like that at some point.
America is a young country and its mistakes are alot more fresh then most. thats all.
Alot of the electricity in that area comes from Niagra Falls and it probabaly changes with the flow of the water!
Hear Hear!
oh and mataodore....why is it old labour same danger, shouldnt it be old labour, no danger?
No , the 'Old Labour' has always been the danger , the hardcore left wingers that were the leaders of the labour party in the 70's and 80's.
Theyre circling like vultures now , planning to remove Blair from power.
If that happens this country will be doomed.
i noticed it a while ago, and this country would be better off without tony and his cronies. Bring back the "hardcore left wingers"anytime.
