Did a Secret Military Experiment Cause the 2003 Blackout

Regretfully, because I am a research scientist, and because I face the possibility of certain repercussions in my field of work for revealing this information to the public, I cannot reveal my true identity. I believe the facts I have presented herein are sufficient to speak for themselves and should convince the public that oversight is needed when experimenting with aspects of the atmosphere that are not well known

LMFAO! I was cooking chili when that blackout began, I HIGHLY doubt it was part of a secret military experiment.
I live in Kingston, Ontario. Not far from where the blackout began.
I can't remember all about it, but I believe it had something to do with the power grid in Ontario and New York, something went wrong in a powerplant in/near/around Niagara Falls and the plant stopped pumping out the watts, there was too much strain on the grids (yes, Ontario and New Yorks power grids are interconnected), and it brought them both down for awhile. It really was not that big of a deal guys......

I'd figure it was maybe some sort of tactical-scale EMP test gone wrong, because it's a perfect place to test it- upper new york, in a small town. It would show how American citizenry would react to total loss of power. Unfortunately, the EMP burst was greater than expected (or something) and hit a power plant, and from there we all got screwed. What do you all think?

I believe it was just a power plant failure and nothing more.

It really depends on what you mean by the severity of an EMP burst. If you mean on a LOCAL scale, small enough to disrupt certain operations at a facility, then there is a slim chance of that happening, however, on a broad scale, there is no chance whatsoever. Well I should say it would work a little too well, and here is why: If an EMP burst went off, and it was widespread, we'd all be in deep doo-doo right now. Even with electricity, nothing in those cities would work ever again, because EMP bursts destroy electronics. Cars would stop working, forget about computers, lightbulbs, fridges . . . Nearly everything we rely on. If it was EMP, we would definitely know about it. BTW, I am surprised EMP has not been used as a weapon yet, unless I have missed something.
