TALK ABOUT A FRAGILE POWER SYSTEM

By Bob Walsh


A group of rogue monkeys jumped into Panadura Power Station, Sri Lanka, when one of them landed on the transmission line, causing a nationwide blackout


It appears that a monkey managed to cause a power failure that crashed the whole power grid on Sri Lanka.  So far it isn't really clear how a monkey caused this though the government says that somehow the monkey got into a power station and disrupted something that caused a cascading failure.  It isn't even clear whether or not the monkey survived the experience.
