It will be interesting to see what transpires with a motive. I also had a chance to look at the map. That is quite a large swath of power outage that affected everything from the sewer to city lights through the region. There were apparently several car accidents and this would also affect the regional hospital as well. They would have back up, but would have to resort to down-time procedures to address care. Part of me is hopeful this was a stupid drunk game, but at the same time, it would not surprise if there was malicious intent. Maybe it was the drag show - maybe not. Either way, I hope they are brought to justice.
I could buy the 'drunken game' if it was one power station but with multiple stations involved it seems unlikely to me.It will be interesting to see what transpires with a motive.

Shit that’s real? I read about that in the Axis of Time series and thought they made it up.Weak sauce.
High voltage transformers aren't specifically hardened against gunfire, and if you know what to target (or just shoot everything!) not that hard to break, particularly easy to take out the coolant tank. And nobody in the US has a very large spare supply of these utility transformers - with manufacturing lead times for new delivery measured in months or years, not days.A sustained campaign of successful strikes on the power gird could be quite devastating.
We have the supplies to replace a certain amount... after that.... it would be an emergency effort to produce more AND keep them from being damaged all the same.
What surprises me is simple gunfire achieved the trick. I always imagined RPGs or IEDs (drones) would be required. Maybe a small artillery. That small arms fire did it was quite the shocker. But in retrospect I shouldn't be surprised. Seems the barrier to entry for this sort of attack is VERY low. We may need to encase our substations in protective buildings.
Company went bust someone picked it up. Not sure if it ever got out of prototype.Shit that’s real? I read about that in the Axis of Time series and thought they made it up.

Have in common?
Actors in drag that were either popular or nobody complained. Now all of a sudden there is feigned outrage

Pretty much what I’ve been thinkingProbably just a bunch of disillusioned Q's having been told on BitChute that pulling this stunt would take out the entire power grid nationwide.
That's kinda how they operate.
Oh crap, I didn't even notice the operator sitting in the thing. I thought it was remote controlled. Now I want one.It's probably for the best that I don't own one of those.
Maybe a test...?Surprised they didn't do this during the election.
I didn’t notice until the 3rd time I watched it either.Oh crap, I didn't even notice the operator sitting in the thing. I thought it was remote controlled. Now I want one.
Looks more like practice for an insurection to me.
I agree. Just the fact that they knew where multiple substations were speaks of planning. I mean, who knows where all their local power substations are located? They had to plan it out beforehand get to all of them before the authorities caught on that someone was taking out substations.I could buy the 'drunken game' if it was one power station but with multiple stations involved it seems unlikely to me.
Blackangst1 would mount one on his roof to shoot passing cars who threaten him by driving past on the road.
