Wow. Nine 138 kV circuits tripped leaving 90% of Mindanao without power? Are you kidding me?
Oh my oh my. Wonder if any of Transco’s bidders saw that. Thanks to Walter for reporting Transco’s statement . And … we need more details on this.
Update: Just an observation for those unfamiliar with the Mindanao system. Nine 138 kV circuits is essentially the whole transmission system. The whole transmission system collapsed!

Got here by following you on twitter. That’s a whole lot of power. Probably sabotaged. Happens here all the time. By the way, this is the first blog I’ve seen that uses OpenID for commenting. Interesting! Cheers.
Thanks, Dennison. Are you still getting sql errors in commenting on the blog here. Your comment seemed to get thru ok. I’m posting this comment also as a test for myself.
I’m turning off a plug-in for Subscribe-to-Comments. That might be problem.
Yep. That seemed to fix it. A Wordpress 2.3 compatibility issues I guess.
Looks all good now! OpenID does not work though and is giving me errors
Yeah. I’m now having problems now too. It’s redirecting to my openid provider, trying to process the request, but not doing it successfully. I’ll work on it – if I can’t solve it, I’ll pull the plug on it, unfortunately.
Hi Sir Nick,
This is also a test. By the way, thanks for the link. I should have also asked you for more details on that story, too.
