Re: east coast powergrid / SCADA [OT?]

NERC (nerc.com) North American Electric Reliability Council has a hidden
report that states at "14:06 Chamberlain - Harding 345 Kv line tripped -- 
cause not reported". This was the first sign of failure. NE US and Canada
did not report significant outages prior to 15:11.

Another point to look at is at "15:17 - 15:21 Numerous lines in Michigan
tripped"

Ground zero for the blackout seems to be Parma, OH according to local
papers and ABC News:

I still feel that there was human intervention to disrupt or
otherwise circumvent the automatic safeguards, in response to an
anomaly (i.e. MSBlaster).
