Power Outage In CA last April was caused by Sniper (DOMESTIC TERRORISM)
Report: Alarms Being Raised About Sniper Attack on CA Power Station

SAN JOSE, Calif.—The attack began just before 1 a.m. on April 16 last year, when someone slipped into an underground vault not far from a busy freeway and cut telephone cables.

Within half an hour, snipers opened fire on a nearby electrical substation. Shooting for 19 minutes, they surgically knocked out 17 giant transformers that funnel power to Silicon Valley. A minute before a police car arrived, the shooters disappeared into the night.. .


The attack was "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred" in the U.S., said Jon Wellinghoff, who was chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at the time. . .

Some are now questioning whether this could have been a test run and expressing concern that the perpetrators could strike again. The FBI is continuing its investigation, but doesn't believe a terror organization was responsible.. . .

Sniper attack on Silicon Valley power grid spurs security crusade by ex-regulator

(CNN) -- An attack by snipers on a Silicon Valley power substation last year is prompting the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to launch a crusade to better secure and defend the nation's electrical grid.
The former chairman, Jon Wellinghoff, now a San Francisco energy law attorney, called the little-publicized April 2013 attack on the substation a "very well planned, coordinated and executed attack on a major piece of our electric grid infrastructure." . .

So. Let's start the investigation proper.

Why did the 911 call center go down during the attack? Never happened before.

Who had the power and the ability to do that, by fucking around with our phone system?

I'm tired of this clanging of the terrorism bell, a kid eating a piece of pizza until it may resemble a gun is terrorism.

Stop spouting the government propaganda and do something worthwhile with your life.

Many were concerned about power outages that were randomly occuring in Ca, some thought it might be solar flare related, overload, weather, potential terrorism, etc. well this info came out recently, sharing info and awareness, not spouting government propagand
