PEI...for now
:? I'm not laughing, I'm looking at my qeue on the phone lines right now and there's about 21 people trying to get through and they've been waiting 28 minutes, because either their phone's aren't working or their internet is down, and it's somehow OUR fault....worst of all I have 4 minutes 10 seconds left in my lunch.

I think they need to update their wiring or power grids. It seems funny connecting wrong wires would cause a power outage so large. But I am not familar with how "all that" is set up, so I could be barking up the wrong tree, so to speak.

Several workers who were installing an automated transmission system hooked up the wrong wires, according to Ron Deaton, general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power."They connected it to another line that was not expecting that much electricity," he said.
