THIS IS SO ABSOLUTELY JUVENILE AND RIDICULOUS THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS INSULTING OUR INTELLIGENCE THIS WAY!

COULD THIS BE A GRID OUTAGE?! YEAH.

IS THAT THE LIKELIEST CAUSE? HELL NO!

YOU HAVE TO ASSUME TERRORISM IN A CASE LIKE THIS, AND FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO IMMEDIATELY COME OUT AND SAY "NO TERRORISM" - HOW IRRESPONSIBLE IS THAT?! HOW COULD THEY KNOW THAT?!?! ESPECIALLY THAT QUICKLY?!

I FEEL LIKE I'M LIVING IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE. THIS IS INSULTING! HOW CAN THEY DENY THE POSSIBILITY OF IT?!

Maybe that's because they know what happened? We had a rolling blackout in the northwest years ago. It bounced all over the place - covered many states.

Because it serves the countries interest to look you in the eye and lie their ass off. That is why...

You've got to be kidding me. Thank God Texas has its own power grid, but folks, let's take the tin foil hats off... Remeber Occam's Razor.... this is most likely NOT terrorism.

The involved power companies are monitoring and they know where and why it started and almost when it will be over.

Why throw panic on top of it. You and I may stay calm but we are rational. The masses look for reason to panic.

They try to avoid panic.

The power failure is not the worst thing -- what could be worse, if this was indeed a terrorist plan, then what do they do next, as phase 2.

Or if it wasn't terrorist related, they may use this as an Opportunity for an attack.

They think that if they discuss these even as possibilities, it would cause panic.

Do you remember when that poor Florida guy was confirmed he had anthrax, they said the same thing, that it's not terrorism related, he got it, because he is an outdoorsman and drank from a stream.

The problem with these constant denials is that the government loses credibility.
