The power outage cited for "10 November 1965" included more than New York. Usually referred to as the "Northeast Blackout", it included nine states and two Canadian provinces. I believe it was finally traced to a faulty relay at the Sir Adam Beck power station at Niagara Falls. StinKerr 23:38, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)
[edit] reasons for cascading failure
From the article: Under certain conditions, a network component shutting down can cause current fluctuations in neighboring segments of the network.
May someone explain the reason for such events more precisely? Thanks --Abdull 17:02, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
