And whether it was a cyberterror attack, someone making a mistake, or just overload of one system, it shouldn't be so easy to bring down so much of a huge grid. That is the really worrysome part of it.

Someone mentioned that there were supposed to be safeguards in place to prevent this, so what happened to those safeguards?
