beberapa kota besar di AS dan Kanada mengalami electric failure ( newyork,ohio, detroit,michigan dan toronto (kanada). ottawa(kanada).

wall street dan airport juga kena dampaknya.

berita selengkapnya:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A major power outage simultaneously struck dozens of cities in the United States and Canada late Thursday afternoon.

Cities affected include New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Toronto and Ottawa, Canada. The power outage occurred shortly after 4 p.m.

State officials said the Niagara-Mohawk power grid was overloaded. The grid provides power for New York and stretches into Canada. The officials said the outage is likely a natural occurrence and not related to terrorism.

"It's probably a natural occurrence which [struck] the power system up there," Mayor Michael Bloomberg told CNN. "The good news is, Con Ed's facilities have shut down automatically, which they're programmed to do." Consolidated Edison is the New York area power company.

Black smoke coming from a power station on East 14th Street "was a natural thing," Bloomberg said. "No damage was done to the Con Ed facilities," he said.

A statement from the Department of Homeland Security said, "The department is working with state and local officials an the energy sector to determine the cause of the outage and what response may need to be taken."

Much of Midtown Manhattan and Wall Street was shut down. All area airports and the Long Island Railroad were also affected.

The Federal Aviation Administration grounded planes at all three New York area airports and in Cleveland because the blackout affected security screening facilities. The FAA reported planes also were grounded at the Toronto airport. The airports were operating on backup power, officials said.

Bloomberg said it was unknown how long the outage may last.

The New York City Police Department said a number of people were trapped in elevators. Thousands of people could be seen leaving buildings and walking into the streets. New York subways were reported stopped and people were trapped in the cars.

"We are going to have a situation where people are going to have to walk a long distance. They need to be careful," Bloomberg said. "Our advice is to go home, open up your windows, drink a lot of liquids."

Jangan-jangan itu cuma sekedar persiapan atau latihan atau simulasi sebelum diterpkan di Indonesia?
Untuk melihat bagaimana reaksi orang2 modern jika listrik mati.

Nah, kalo orang modern udah bisa di liat reaksinya, sekarang liat orang tradisional.
Jadi matikan aja dulu (sabotase) pembangkit listrik Paiton.
Apa jadinya ntar Indonesia. :haha

Gampang kan buat orang US untuk ngalahin Indonesia?


Hahahaha...
Mabok nih gue pagi-pagi! :kakaka:

bah bah koq jadi jelek2in indo seh
:haha

gak jelek2 in kok :) kan lagi membanggakan keahlian indo :)

siapa sih yg jelek2 in indo? :)

pertama kali denger berita ini di Prambors,

katanya arie & desta mau ngobrol2 ama Stacie Orrico, tapi gak dapet sambungan... gara-gara mati listrik (?)

Mati listrik di domestik sich, OK-2 saja.

Tapi kalo di komersil / bisnis area, :shock:
Berapa banyak penjual ice cream / benda-2 beku yang rugi.
Pasti claim asuransi membengkak tuch...

Belum lagi kalo di airport. pasti re schedule ulang pemberangkatan pesawat. ini juga cost. Karena jadwal pemakaian pesawat udah diset dan direncanakan :hehe
Kalo pesawat berangkat diundur, penumpang bakal nge claim asuransi :haha

Industri... lebih gile lagi. Satu industri baja, untuk meng aktifkan mesin dari OFF ke ON, perlu energi listrik satu kapasitas satu bendungan jatiluhur.
Belum lagi target produksi yangmeleset. Meleset 1 hari, kena denda 50000 US$, misalnya.. :shock:

Bakal lebih dalem dech krismon yg menimpa USA :hehe

Kasihan loh... karena listrik mati sampe ada yg terjebak di SUBWAY METRO... bener-bener kepanasan didalem situ... Dan mereka baru bisa di evakuasi 2 jam setelahnya... bahkan tadi gwe liat beritanya di koran Washington POST, itu ada yg pingsan ditengah jalan karena gak kuat kepanasan. :(

haha
i was trapped in downtown T.O. for hours too
being without power was an inconvenience, but i still managed to have
a good time^^

i had been walking along Queen St. with a friend since like,
noon....:rolleyes:
it's gotta be 4 PM-ish just seconds before the blackout, when my
friend had just made a transaction down at one clothing store
there.....

so we went out of the store, wanted to head to a Thai restaurant
across Ryerson Univ which was still blocks away....*does anybody know
Salad King?*.....oh, such messy roads, ppl were trying to cross the
street, the traffic was gridlocked until they realised that the
redlights werent working, so cars were going by 4-way -stop

we thought the power failure was a local one... so ahead we went to
Eaton Ctr.
when we arrived, there was a massive amount of people standing in
front of teh mall......which was a bit unusual. we went inside the
mall, it was dark and stores were closing too. then i knew something
wrong must had happened.

i asked a woman annd she said its been out for 15 mins. that was a
bit surprising, so the power outtage that ws thought to be such a
minor thing turns out to be affecting the whole downtown area. *us
kids still thought it was pretty cool*

so at around 4:45 we exited the mall to Dundas St. hurrying to the
THai rest....*yes i know either its a very late lunch or an early
dinner:p* guess what, it's renovated!!:nangis:
oh gosh...we were hella starving and hot and legs were wobbly
tired........good thing Ryerson Univ was just across the street and
we could see the accumulating lineups around a Hotdog
vendor........so there u go, we was changing appetites from thai food
to spicy pork sausage:D but its okay, its all good.....now its about
survival not really abt the food itself.

so the air was hot, i tried to call home but my mobile didnt work,
such a busy relay. we picked a spot under a tree and watched the
busi-ness while eating. now done eating we went inside Ryerson Univ.
just to look around ^^ we went to the caf cuz i ran out of water and u
know what? they were giving out free ice creams, yoghurt, and milk,
hehehehe:D so duh, we were pigging out again!:D we were enjoying
ourselves on a balcony and thought it would be nice if the ppl down
below could eat something cold too ^^ so we threw to them some cups of
yoghurts, lol! now THAT was fun ^^
i just had to make sure i wasnt eating too much of the "free
desserts", cuz theyre all dairy products and i didnt wanna have to
get stuck in a dark washroom later!

so now, it was like around 6:30.......i suggested why dont we lounge
around inside the lobby of a nice hotel?:D cuz it would have been
pretty useless anyways waiting for a bus with all the traffic
congestion and the scarce busses trying to load huge amts of people
everywhere

so now we walked to Sheraton deh ^^ the lobby was so full, ppl were
lying on the floor and stuff. I think Sheraton was nice enough to
provide many many many jugs of ice-cold water for visitors. Cuz
Hilton, they wouldnt even let anybody in but guests only ; (

we just sat around and relaxed in Sheraton, cuz there was only so much we could've done anyways if we were outside. oh, i slipped on the floor of their very dark toilet:nangis:

terus udah gak terlalu cape lagi kita keluar deh, hoping to catch a bus. yea rite....^^....it aint gonna happen kalo cuman nunggu di situ....mana ga ada enough cash buat taxi lg:p lagian takut di charge unreasonable mampus deh....soalnya ada yg kena $100...damn u! akhirnya decided jalan kaki deh to the most southern point of Toronto to avoid the crowds.....nyebelin sih, we were supposed to go northbound, tp had to walk southbound all the way just to get in a bus yang akhirnyake north juga;D

so jalan kaki ke sononya aja udah 1.5 jem...hoping to be in a bus before the sun went down....sampe sekarang masih berasa capenya ga abis2! busnya slow banget lg......trus di jemput ama bonyok deh di station tpt bus gue berenti..........::v::

gila deh ah 7 jem trapped....jalan berkilo2 meter....yg kesian temen gue dunk, tinggal di lantai 18 lift kaga ada yg nyala:kakaka: kalo gue sih untung ada satu nyala, pdhl gue lantai 20:D

sampe rumah jem 11 malem.... ga bisa mandi:nangis: malah mainin binocular ngeliatin full bulan, bintang & MARS!!!:D *ada yg liat juga ga?*

gitu deh.......bikin cape & rada khawatir juga apalagi di jkt bekas ada bomb....but i tried to make the most out of it . and klo dipikir2 mendingan ky gitu drpd di rumah ga ngapa2in ^^;;

:eek: weghset... bullseye... \

ckckckckc... bener-bener pengalaman yahhh... gileee... ckckc... :bravo:but hey, you survive... rite? ;) ...

<thumbs up de buat bullseye>

hihihi iya jiggy ^^ cuman masih pusing aja dikit kurang tidur.....bonyok gue di rumah khawatir2 gue malah seneng2 di sono:D hehehe.....
untung skr listriknya dah mayan stabil:)

:eek: wagh.. lumayan lah yaa kalo gituh... stidak-tidaknya kan udah ada listrik gitu lo... walalupun minim tapi kan tersedia... paling kasihan tuh yg kelamaan mati lampu sampe gak dapet air :( ...

apalagi kan di LN kan gak macemnya di indo bisa nyimpen air di bak apa dimana gituhhh.. :bingung: ... jadi mereka yg gak ada air ya cuma bisa pasrah doank kali ya... :( ...

Untungnya air masih jalan kmaren.... klo ngga waduh ga tau dech.....
