I'm flying to Moscow in a few days and I hope the landing lights are on by the time we start descending!

Welcome to Free Republic.
Thanks for letting us know about this. Fox News hasn't said anything yet, as far as I can tell.

I remember thinking it was kinda fun. (LOL What did I know - I was a silly kid!). Using candles and sitting outside all night with my mom and my relatives was fun.

what 21 post and this hasn't been blamed on Bush yet?
To: michigander
"Moscow was plunged into chaos on Wednesday after a big power outage that President Vladimir Putin blamed on the state-owned electricity monopoly headed by a liberal politician viewed with suspicion by the Kremlin.
Chubais, one of Russia's best known figures who survived an assassination attempt in March, was quoted as saying he accepted full responsibility for the outage."
Vlad has an assassination fetish.

Nope, but Lazamataz blamed Rove in reply #17. That is basically the same as blaming Bush.

Has there been a post by a credible source on the chemical plant?

That seems to be a lot of items to go out for a single sub-station outage in a modern major city.
To: Grey Squirrel
Could it have been something related to the blast of Chemical Plant that was posted on Free Republic recently?

This is huge news in Germany as well. Everything is affected. 16 hospitals are working on generators. People don't have water and they are sending water trucks to help out.
WILD!!!!
To: ReformedTreeHugger
Probably trying to get more of the story, my two cents.
