Is there anyone on Eng-tips who knows the real story of what caused the blackout in LA?
I tend to take what I read in the media with a grain of salt, and while I know I will probably read about it in the next issues of Power Generation Industry publications, I thought someone here might know the real story.
Were all the good workers away cleaning up from Katrina?

You sure illuminating

Now they are blaming the engineers. So what's new?

Plan the project.
Do the engineering work.
Check the engineering work.
DOUBLE check the engineering work because you never know when the idiotic losers who get hired at the cheapest rate they can get away with are going to be so stupid that they can't actually read your explicitly clear drawings and figure out not to cut THE ENTIRE CABLE.
Take the blame when even that didn't prevent the inevitable screw up.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt and the hat.

We have broad shoulders. We're the goats when things go wrong and are ignored when things go right. Ahhhh...but you all know that feeling......
