CNN has mentioned several times the theory that the Blaster worm potentially had something to do with this. No joke.

Thus spake Joel Perez (jperez@numind.net) [14/08/03 16:27]:
Has anyone heard of a big Power outage in the North east? I just got a call from one of my tech's in the GBLX bldg
in Newark,
NJ at 1085 raymond and they are telling him that they lost power! But I also got a call from AT&T in NY that they also lost Power!
It looks like a rather large power outage -- we're in South Western Ontario, Canada, and power is out in Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Hespler, and (I'm pretty sure) London as well. Can't say about Toronto.
