Talk:Northeast Blackout of 1965
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Rename
As discussed elsewhere, I think this article should be moved to Northeast American power outage (1965), for several reasons:
- Changes current americentric title (northeast India?), and disambiguates
- Uses currently accepted date disambiguation standard (though still debated)
- Uses the less idiomatic and more accurate term power outage
At the very least, change it to Northeast American blackout of 1965, to disambiguate. Also, note the decapitalization of blackout, which is not a proper noun. 134.250.72.141
[edit] Fix
This article was ransacked by someone. The text has inserted bad words and the information became unreadable. Revert to previous version and block the IP who did it, please. If not possible, then delete the first paragraphs of the article, as it is no longer useful. Thanks. (unsigned comment by 208.242.148.4 01:08, 13 February 2007 )

[edit] Engineering Disasters on The History Channel
The TV series Engineering Disasters states that the cause of the blackout of 1965 was an electrical component (similar to a circuit breaker) that had been marked UPGRADED when, in fact, it had not been upgraded. Maybe all these many years later there remains controversy. The Wikipedia article blames a mouse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.200.237.228 (talk) 00:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
