I just think they should keep it quiet how delicate our Elec. Grid is. We had a blackout, fine, deal with it. I think it will compromise the US security if it is disclosed what triggered this.



Before this past blackout I never knew how delicate the grid system was. I just feel like the media / gov. agencies are giving terrorists idea.

yeah but there have been public reports for the last 2 years talking about the grid problems.....terrorists wouldn't go for such a target in my opinion. they want to make a statement by killing americans not making them live through a hot summer.

what i think thats funny about this, was that the other day they had no idea as to what happened, but they were SURE it wasnt from a terrorist. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

thats the thing though, all they have to do is turn on the ac or something

I was thinking about that too. But you have to think, terrorists think about ways to '**** our **** up' all day every day. they already know about how the power grid works. They probally know how to bring it down. Its just a matter of doing it.

I think some of you guys underestimate the hate some people have for americans.



I wouldn't be suprised if a terrorist dedicated his life to working at Mcdonalds all his life, and spitting in every burger that he made. Just because of the idea that he is "doing his part" for alah or whatever.



Also when is the last time you guys have spent 24 hours without electricity??? If you think we went to war quick over oil, just have someone threaten our power grid. We'd break out the nukes.

the public has a right to know. Isn't that part of consitution for you american guys?



The canadian people have a rigth to know since it affected us as well. Significant dollars were lost economically, and blame needs to be placed somewhere, Either on faulty equipment on heads, whatever.



How can you learn from your mistakes if you don't know what the mistake was. You are just going to lead up to a bigger mistake until one day it will be the whole North America or a blackout for a week.

it was you damn canadians in the first place!!!





haha j/k

****. I only wish. If the American public found out the extent of lies we're told on a daily basis, I think the Canadian borders would be overrun with hordes of "ex-pats". Having a president in office that plays the corporate welfare game, and has no qualms about his ties to Enron and the oil business is bad enough.
