Worm virus to blame for East Coast blackout?

[AntiCoup2K4]

Someone on ABC just claimed the blackout was due to a "software failure" that they apparently have not located yet. Could the latest Windows hack have brought down the grid?

1. Not likely

I doubt any of the critical elements of the grid are computer automated and even if they are it is highly unlikely that they are running Windows. MVS maybe, but now Windows.

2. Skynet will get the control this night. Terminators are in campaign

If you have seen Terminator III, and you remenber Terminator wants to be governor of California and president of USA, he need control energy. A virus inoculated in the control system is the method used in the film.

Do you remember the movie where the president to hide relations with other women to the public, decided to declare war against Albany?

3 days later war in Kosovo began, very close to Albany

5. east coast energy

Someone on NBC was quick to defend all the deregulation of energy that took place in the last decade.

6. CBS: Canadian PM says lightning struck the Niagra power grid plant.

Don't know if that's true, it's just what I heard. This thing is as far west as Lansing Michigan, and it's 90 degrees. Two miles north of Lansing, all is fine.
