Luiz 4,253 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 http://rt.com/news/245529-massive-power-outage-turkey/ The worst power outage in 15 years struck most of Turkey, grounding flights and crippling rail networks. The government scrambled efforts to investigate the power cut, before energy was partially restored in the afternoon.The outage was confirmed in some 23 provinces, including Ankara and Istanbul, by news agency Anadolu. Later information from Broadcaster NTV put the number at 40. An energy official at the ministry has offered no immediate comment, while the power supplier TEIAS likewise did not respond to questions.Energy officials did admit that there was no electricity in most of the country for several hours, before electricity was restored by 15 percent. The subway system was at a standstill and flights across the country have also suffered setbacks.Turkey’s Anadolu agency reports that the outages struck around 10:36am Turkish time (07:36GMT), citing officials. Flights in and out of the capital have been grounded. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says all potential causes are being investigated currently, “including the possibility of a terror attack,". This is the first outage event of such magnitude in 15 years, according to the daily Hurriyet paper. I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Yeah because it's easy. Turkey is known for tourism, no one suspects anything. And border with Syria is easy to cross. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
