Failed equipment did not cause DC power outage

Failed equipment did not cause DC power outage
I am an expert in this area, and my opinion matters. Here is what really happened: Someone proved they could either plant a virus in or directly hack the power system in Washington DC. How do I know? EASY:

If this was due to "failed equipment" at the power facility, EVERYTHING would have gone off at once. And the grid is still intact enough to prevent a true widespread power outage in DC so problems at a single power facility would have practically zero chance of causing a power outage.

Forget Jurassic park, modern distribution systems do not work the way it was shown in that movie. Jurassic park showed 1970's technology, no one needs to be anywhere near a switch to turn it on anymore.


Here is reality:
When it comes to high power distribution, ALL the switches have brains, and open and close themselves. All these circuits can think autonomously, AND have central control. They all have readout screens which show power factor, volts, current, the whole 9 yards and they can all be set to try a circuit again in a few seconds if they trip out. This is why in America (and I know everyone has seen this) power usually goes out for five seconds or so and comes right back on. If it goes off a second time, it stays off because the automatic intelligent switch knows it is a hard fault and does not keep trying. In addition to this, these switches can turn off or on with no one physically present. This is not the 70's anymore, the switches are all computer based. These switches are housed in power sheds usually at substations that are far away from the power generating facility. Even though the switches in the picture look impressive, no power generating facility would ever have switches that small. Those are among the smallest intelligent switches and are of the type which would be for power control to neighborhoods. Every neighborhood substation is likely to have these in a little building that has no windows.


The only way you could have one block or building at a time switch off and come back on the way it just happened in DC is if someone hacked the system and started causing mayhem with these intelligent switches which are UNIVERSALLY used now. If the problem was at the power facility, EVERYONE in the region would go off at the same time, and come back on at the same time. These intelligent switches typically weigh 500 pounds or so and run at 2,400 volts or more, I am not talking small fry stuff you would find at Home Depot. Your local transformer would be AFTER these switches, between your house and one of these switches.

If the power was switching off and on in small pockets at random all over DC, it means beyond all doubt that someone hacked the system, and wanted to show the Federal government of the U.S. that they were at someone elses whim and could be shut down at will from somewhere else. THE FACT CNN LIED ABOUT THIS AND SAID IT WAS THE CENTRAL POWER FACILITY PROVES THEY DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT TO WHO DID THIS. Smart money says Israel, but I would not be surprised if it also leaned towards Russia.
