Me too - but they're saying 'human error' at this stage.

TT: The company said that a Taipower employee caused the blackouts by mistakenly turning a switch at an ultra-high-voltage substation in Kaohsiung’s Lujhu District.

It does open up another possibility for sabotage apart from cyber-warfare - just have a plant in the power station with access to the switchboard.

They've now got water and energy restrictions in Taiwan - that's getting precarious.

It was 40C in Kaohsiung yesterday! Not a good day to have the air-con out.
