Brazil: The Blackout in Pictures
November 11th, 2009Surreal pictures.
Via: Daily Mail:
Much of Brazil was plunged into darkness last night as a problem at a hydroelectric dam left millions without electricity.
As these eerie pictures show, the major cities, such as Rio de Janeiro – the home of the 2016 Olympic Games – were left looking like ghost towns, with only car headlights, candles, and the odd power generator providing tiny pools of illumination for millions.
Other cities such as Sao Paulo were also left in blackness for more than two hours, while all of neighbouring Paraguay was also without power for half an hour.

methinks they are wiring up the Bush compound in Paraguay and had to turn off all the lights to attain central power, command and control
Looks like folks didn’t mind it to much.
Candlelight is great.
Bush coming to country is BAD.
Also does not hurt to “embarass” a rival and make them look like a back world country, when they “won the games.”
Pitiful morons that can play with the grid to make a point.
Anyone remember California and Enron?
