Tree causes blackout - bush declares war on trees

The events that led to Thursday's blackout began when several high-voltage transmission lines near Cleveland failed, investigators said yesterday. The utility that owns the lines said an alarm that should have alerted controllers to the shutdowns also failed.

The line failures � including one triggered by contact with a tree � began at 3:06 p.m., 65 minutes before a wide swath of the United States and Canada lost power, said Michehl R. Gent, president of the North American Electric Reliability Council, the power industry group that is investigating the blackout.
