| Blackout Hits Large Area of London | |
| 2003-08-28 | |
| Power went out in parts of London and in southeastern England Thursday, two weeks after New York and other parts of the Northeast were hit by a blackout. There were serious disruptions on the London Underground and on some train lines. Utility officials said the power appeared to be out in parts of south London and in Kent, which is southeast of the city. Hope this is just more human error, right?

| #4 Odd... I wouldn't have expected the British electrical system to have been de-regulated... Seriously, hope things get back up-to-speed quickly. The Underground isn't place I'd want to be without power (although I'd fear being trapped in Harrod's a bit more). |

| #3 Wasn't there some snarky article from England (or someplace else in Europe) posted recently about the power outage in the US? Hopefully nobody will get hurt over there, but I admit that I am amused by this. |
