The probe into what triggered an eight-state, two-nation
blackout that left 50 million people in the dark zeroed in on an!
area just south of Cleveland, near Mantua, Ohio, where a leading investigator said
three transmission lines failed just before the massive outage.With power finally restored, meanwhile, life was returning to
normal in cities across the region Sunday, though there were
lingering reminders: garbage cans overflowing with spoiled food,
continuing water-boil warnings and the flood of questions asking
how could it happen.Michehl Gent, head of the North American Electric Reliability
Council, suggested human error might have been the reason the
problems were not isolated before they knocked out power from
Michigan to Ontario to New York.``The system has been designed and rules have been created to
prevent this escalation and cascading. It should have stopped,''
Gent said in a telephone conference call.Gent said investigators were examining more than 10,000 pages of
data, including automatically generated logs on power flows over
transmission lines, to determine what caused the blackout.FirstEnergy Corp., the Akron, Ohio-based utility that officials
said owned at least two of the three lines, said alarm systems that
might have alerted engineers to the failed lines were broken, but
that functioning backup systems had been in place.
