An excellent piece which almost reads like a science fiction tale. Proves the old adage that sometimes life is stranger than fiction. Well-written and sourced. Very good expository quotes and commentary. Extremely relevant contextually, particularly with regard to the broader issue of how vital the proper functioning is of, in this case the electricity grid, but all public utilities. The prospective reader will come away well-informed as to not only how this incident played out, ultimately successfully, but how interruptions in power supply can have far broader consequences than simply being unable to run the dishwasher. A decidedly worthwhile read.
