Nothing is adding up. The truth will come out slowly and the horrific nature of this disaster will sicken people.
Sounds like they didn’t anticipate the lawsuits, and came up with this story after the lawsuits were filed.
The whole situation from the very start isn’t adding up. Something is fishy.
The magnetic field in a transformer will hold a bit of energy for a short time as the field decays. If the transformer has a load attached, like in a power distribution network, it’s a very, very short time.
There may well also be capacitors on the line to compensate (aka improve the “power factor”) for inductive loads such as electric motors (e.g., AC). These capacitors almost certainly lose their charge quite quickly on a loaded distribution network.
