When the lights went out on Thursday.....

I've been doing a lot of reading about this 2003 Blackout we all experienced! It's the largest the U.S. has ever been hit with. However, who do you think is really at fault for this most "unfortunate incident"? The President, Con-Ed, this ridiculous excuse of "lightening", etc......... :confused
 
hmm i wish i knew what it had to do with...

all i know is that it was huge since it affected canada as well...

and what is that about lightening that you were saying?

I heard on the radio the very first day we lost power that around Niagra Falls there was very bad weather and lightening struck one of the big plants. I was like 😱! That is so much crap to me.
 
they're now saying it was power outages in Ohio that had a domino affect ...... who knows...... we'll never know the real truth......

Sietz
 
lol Jack... no it didn't start in Canada.. it started in the NorthWestern part of US somewhere...
 
It's funny how Canada is blamed for everything...within 10 minutes of the black out Mayor Bloomberg said it was Canada how could he have known that when no lines of communication/information were available...going back to Sept 11 President Bush blamed Canada for letting the terroists into Canada...yeah they may have gotten to the U.S. thru Canada but hey the American border patrol let them into the US, Canada had nothing to do with that...then there was SARS the American cases were said to have started in Canada again no because Americans go to Asia just as Canadians do...then because we didn't support the war in Iraq (cuz it really didn't have anything to do with us) the Americans and President Bush show resentment towards Canadians (EBAY wouldnt take Canadian orders/Canadians getting hassaled at the border/Canada being the pun of every joke on late night tv/etc)...then Aug 14 2003, 10 mins after the black out the "lets blame Canada" line comes up again...I really don't mean to sound bitchy but it's fkn annoying that we get blamed for everything...I am very proud to be Canadian and I have nothing but love for my American neighbours (heck I'm trying everything to move down there) but it just frustrates me when things like this happen...but anyways last I heard (which was yesterday the story could have changed like it has so many times since this mess all started) it started in Ohio...
BTW there was no lighting in or around Ontario...it was a sunny, clear and HOT day...and that plant that was in Niagara Falls that they were reffering to is actully on the American side of the border so even if that was the case...it wasn't in Canada 🙂
 
lmaooo i find this whole thing funny... how the u.s was blaming canada n then canada was blaming the u.s ... now all of the sudden is ohio's fault lmaoooooo!!! crazyyyyy stuff
 
yeah, i just heard today that it was cleveland ohio......its all their fault!! 🙂

**MICHELLE**
 
YOU GO GINA! VENT IT OUT! CAUSE THIS PRESIDENT IS A BIT MESSED UP IN THE HEAD IN MY OPINION. I WON'T COMMENT ANY FURTHER CAUSE I DON'T NEED THE FEDS TO THINK I'M CRAZY AND COME LOOKING FOR ME. BUT I DO BELIEVE ALOT OF WHAT THEY HAD SAID WAS A BUNCH OF CRAP. LET'S SEE WHAT OTHER LIES THEY COME UP WITH.
 
Technically I would say it's the Power company's fault. They piggyback off of each other to save money but you don't see that makin your bill lower do you? I think not!

Money grubbin idiots! UGH!!!!!! :mad
 
I just hate it when I go away and people are like "where you from" and when I say I'm from Toronto or from Canada and then they start with comments and don't know wtf they are really talking about...yeah it's funny how now it's supposedly the problem started in Ohio and NOT in Canada...the funny thing is American officials are oh so quick to blame Canada but NEVER give a formal apology
 
well its kinda ironic that in the camp where i was at there was no backup generator and the lights stayed on all day. At the time the blackout started we had like a 5 second blackout and it came right back
 
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CIVIC YOU TELL THOSE BASTARDS!! DO YOU KNOW THAT AT MY JOB THEY SENT OUT A EMAIL TELLING US THAT THEY WERE GONNA HAND OUT EMERGENCY BACKPACKS. THREE DAYS LATER THE BLACK OUT HAPPENS I WONDER IF THEY KNEW SOMETHING WE DIDN'T. THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
 
Yeah that's weird girl...and another thing you would think the amount of times they mention Canada you would think they would prounce ToronTo properly and the name of our prime minister :confused...but anyways I do know that our government officials have been telling us since LAST summer that major and wide spread black outs were a very real possibility due to energy shortages so in a way when I found out the reason (well what they are telling the public) I wasn't too surprised
 
Well I ain't making it up...it's all fact and I find it frustrating and disappointing that this always happens...I was not surprised at all when I heard Bloomberg say that prob originated up in Canada...I was like if fkn figures but anyways it's all been resolved and I'm glad the problem was not from up here cuz then we would never hear the end of it like the other things we've been blamed for
 
i hear ya girlie... don't stress it mama 🙂 we know we had nothing to do with this.. only ignorant people would go on as to blame us for everything
