Thursday eve 14th August, Eastern and Midwestern states of America(New York City, Cleveland, Ohio and Detroit) along with some Northern cities of Canada(Toronto and Ottawa) went under power hemorrhage which affected more than 50 million people in those states crippling routine life causing jam to electric and electronic life there.

Homeland Security Department said there were no indications that terrorists were responsible for the blackout.

Some sources are claiming it to be a result of over energy suck from American power houses after Lightning in Niagara Power house.

It would be interesting to note that Midwestern States of America had been victim of incidents alike (July 6 1999, May 6 1986, July 13 1977). And main reasons told about previous incidents were accidental.

What is your opinion about the recent cataclysm in United States of America?

Do you think it happened due to technical flaws in the power systems?

Do you think it is an act of sabotage?

Who is responsible for repeatedly occurring power shutdowns in USA over short time-intervals?
