SC Sheriff's Dept released this photo of the attack in progress
Last April 16th -the day after the Boston Marathon bombing- one or two individuals militarily attacked a Pacific Gas & Electric electrical substation south of San Jose, CA... you'd think somebody besides blogs and British newspapers would find this of interest, wouldn't you?
The operation was systematic, organized, and well planned: assailant(s) first cut both land-line and mobile phone service to the power station before storming the facility at 1am... firing over 100 rounds into the transformers to see what would happen.
In the event, what did happen was cracked cooling systems that leaked oil and caused a shutdown of much of the substation. They had climbed down manholes and cut fiber-optic cables to the facility. There are few leads, and no suspects named after 8 months.
The initial local investigation -which was treating the case as 'vandalism'- seems to have come to little, so now the FBI's gotten involved. Yet, today's highly-politicized/PC Bureau at first tried to dismiss it as 'an isolated local case', too- until the obvious level of planning and knowledge of the facility sunk-in and then even they couldn't avoid the 'T' word.
A PG&E official of the plant made it clear: 'This was no amateurs taking pot-shots... this was a dress rehearsal'. In fact, the significance of this terrorist practice run wasn't lost on hyper-liberal Congressman (and world's ugliest man) Henry Waxman- his bringing it up in a House subcommittee is what initially broke this story, otherwise we still probably would never of heard of it..
Some experts are now saying the NSA and DHS are far too focussed on cyber-attacks, when some guy with a .22 could take a whole facility down in minutes...

I’m surprised that Henry Waxman cares about a terrorist attack.

world's ugliest man...Waxman Waxman always reminds me of that Twilight zone episode where Elly May Clampett has the bandages removed from her face and discovers she is in a world of Waxmans.

Hey "some experts"....I think something a bit bigger than a .22 was used....how about starting with the size of the holes in the transformer cooling system.
And as for Waxman....now its all publicized...the miscreants will be able to scoop up a lot more information to advance their cause.

A coordinated attack on several key substations at once could bring down large portions of the power grid plunging large portions of the country into darkness for days if not weeks. In 2003 a failure in a single power plant in the Niagara Falls region, set off outages that spread over an area of 9,300 square miles with a population of roughly 50 million people.

I remember the Iraqis advising those who lost power to sleep on their roofs. The outage was in summer.
