A failure in Pakistan's national power grid left more than 200 million people without electricity Saturday, local officials said.
The widespread blackout happened just before midnight, plunging the major cities of Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar into darkness, Energy Minister Omar Ayub said. He added that mobile and Internet services also were affected.
Ayub said the power grid failed after high transmission lines tripped, causing the frequency in the distribution system to drop suddenly from 50 to zero. Officials said it could take several hours for power to be restored.
"Systematic restoration of power will be initiated soon," representatives from the Energy Ministry said. "Once the initial frequency is met, the restoration work speeds up."
"People are urged to remain patient," Ayub said.
Good gracious me! I hope all the confused transvestites are handling this ok.
Just like California!
Funny how we both posted this at the same time.
They went from 50 Hz to 0?
AC to DC.....
Yup, lots of confused trannies.
“Damnit Abdul, I told you no practicing car bombings near the transmission lines!”
Who does Pakistan think they are... California?
“Silence! I Keel you!”

So is this for real??? Pakistan and now the Vatican?
It is just the exterior lighting. Crank up your brightness, you can see lights in the windows.
200 million??
that’s not one transformer, or even one power plant.
That has to be multiple grids. Only a few things outside of natural events such as a major earthquake that could cause that.
What happened to the Vatican. I can’t find anything.
Oh hell what happened? Did they run out of Camel Shit?
See post 11. Suppose to be a live feed.
Now that is funny. I would reply "Because it is more difficult to catch and rape a goat in the dark?"
There was a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) on the 8th, but https://spaceweather.com said it missed Earth.
It’s nighttime. I see some lights. Is there a video from last night for comparison?
