On Monday, May 11th, we had a surge of power through our house so great, that it magnified the brightness of our lightbulbs tenfold. The lights and one of the circuits proceeded to burn out, and the surge fried anything that was plugged in—as a strong burst of magnetic energy would. Even a surge strip did not keep the cable box from being fried. This type of situation has never occurred in our home in over 50 years. The event occurred at a little after 13:00 pm CST, or 18:00 UTC. No source was found for the surge, only a fried wire, which had caused a burning smell in the home. Certainly a malfunctioning wire, more than like fried by the surge as well, would not cause a surge in power, but a reduction in it. Would the Zetas care to comment on whether we are now experiencing EMPs from PX on a more frequent basis? If so, would it be recommended that all electronics not in use be disconnected from their power source? Space was relatively quiet, but the magnetosphere was fluctuating widely. [and from another] http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news... The cut was said to have been caused by an electrical surge. People in the area say "Smoke was coming from the electric cupboard from 86 Deansgate when the power surge hit. 4 fire engines responded to the call". Jade Barrow is a receptionist at 86 Deansgate, and said the whole building shook. She said: "The firemen explained to me that an electrical surge is like 2 magnets hitting each other. That's why it all shook because of the force." [and from another]http://poleshift.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=3863141%3ABlogPost%... May 15. After 15 days with approximately 300 hours of missing data, it appears the uninterrupted BATSRUS RCM image feed has resumed.
Air France 447 in 2009 and Malaysia 370 and the recent Germanwings A320 are in the news because they impact the airline industry, and the blame thus placed elsewhere. To date, pilot suicide, storms, and bad pilot judgement have been used, and how is the public to know otherwise? Electric trains such as the Disney Monorail and DC Metro crash incidents in 2009 and the recent Amtrak 188 go into investigation while talking heads murmur about safety devices or track maintenance or mechanical failure, which ultimately get the blame.
It is only when the public is broadly affected that the public can get a hint that something else is afoot. Cell phones are regularly having disrupted service but the blame is placed on blocked access to towers or bad weather. The blackberry outage in 2008 was blamed on a software glitch. If the public is frankly being lied to, engineers responsible for maintaining equipment and the grid are not fooled. The talk has spilled over into the press, or into conversations with the public. During the Washington DC blackout, the electrical problem was described at first by the Washington Post as a “surge”.
This is a key determinant between a failed electrical system, a simple outage, and electro-magnetic pulse. Pulse is a surge, and the sudden increase in the amount of magnetons and their associated electrons, such that equipment controlled by a steady pace of either particle flow goes into a runaway state. When equipment is guarded by surge protection, to guard against lightning strikes, it will shut down, as a brownout situation can damage equipment. But unless a lightning strike was present, there can be no excuse for a pulse or surge other than the presence of the charged tail of Planet X, aka Nibiru.
What can the public expect? As cell phone service and cable TV via satellite continues to degrade, as airplanes increasingly crash during complete electronics failure or are forced to land with smoke in their cockpits, as electric trains surge off the tracks and brakes fail, as transformers explode at dams and on the grid, and as residential lights flicker and erratic and unexplained and spotty blackouts descend, the public can expect endless inane excuses from the establishment. The truth will be withheld because mankind is so dependent upon his electrical systems and equipment that the thought of being without is unthinkable. It is mass denial.

Comment by M. Difato yesterday David Fleck told WFAA he first realized something was wrong when the plane started to descend just an hour into the flight. Then, flight attendants began telling everyone on-board they would be making an emergency landing and to keep their heads down. One attendant asked Fleck if he knew how to open the emergency door since he was sitting on an exit row.
The landing itself was not rough or bumpy according to Fleck who said he did not smell smoke while on-board. However, he did say the plane came to an abrupt stop once it touched down and several fire trucks were already waiting on their arrival. Videos on social media posted by passengers show some sliding down the inflatable chute during the evacuation while others were forced to jump down from the plane’s wing. In one video, someone can be heard yelling “move away from the aircraft.
“Some people had ramps or slides but some had to jump off the wing,” said passenger Paul Allen. “That was pretty harrowing, as well."

The Albuquerque Fire Department said in a tweet that two passengers were taken to the hospital. Upon arrival at Love Field, a family told WFAA one of their family members was injured while trying to jump from the wing.
After waiting for a while on the tarmac, passengers were eventually put on another plane and made it to Love Field around 3 a.m. ~

An electrical fire on board a Porter flight led to an unexpected landing at Fredericton airport Saturday morning (Mar 10).
The 8.50 a.m. flight was headed from Halifax to Montreal. Porter confirmed in an email to CBC News that the crew reported "a small electrical fire that was extinguished prior to landing."
Ginny Clark from Dartmouth, N.S., was on Porter flight 1480 with her daughter when she saw sparks coming from the light fixtures, she told CBC News.
Clark said there was a smell of burned plastic on board.
A passenger alerted a flight attendant who "addressed it right away," she said.
"It was a little concerning, of course, but the flight attendant kept calm, cool and collected and basically said 'We're gong to check this out,'" she said.
After a few minutes, the 72 passengers were told that they'd be landing at the nearest airport, said Clark.
"There was a moment of, what do we do in this situation, for sure," she said.
Fire trucks arrived at the airport to offer shelter to passengers until they were bused off the tarmac. ~

This evening (March 10) , the Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service Emergency Dispatch Center received a call from the Skyport Airport Duty Officer stating a JetBlue flight — en route to New York from Dominican Republic — needed to make an emergency landing in Bermuda due to “possible smoke in the cargo hold.”
Ms. Pamela Brockington stated that “a JetBlue Airbus 321 on its way to John F. Kennedy Airport, New York from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic will make an emergency landing in Bermuda due to possible smoke in the cargo hold.”
Acting Lieutenant Russann Francis said the “Airbus 321 was reported to carry 207 souls and 17,000 pounds of fuel remaining on board.
“Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service [BFRS] stood by on scene with 7 vehicles and 15 personnel as the flight landed safely in Bermuda at 18:10pm.
“BFRS personnel assisted with the evacuation of passengers and carried out a thorough inspection for signs of fire in the cargo hold of the aircraft.” ~

A Nigerian plane made an emergency landing in Ghana after smoke was detected in the cabin, officials said on Friday.
The "unknown source of smoke" in the aircraft cabin forced the pilot in command of the flight to declare emergency 81 nautical miles to the Kotoka International Airport, Accra.
The aircraft, owned by Arik Air, was travelling from Lagos to Accra on Tuesday (March 6) when the fault was detected but no-one was hurt, a company statement said.
"Arik Air flight W3 304 from Lagos to Accra on March 6, 2018 declared an emergency in line with standard operating procedures, when (an) unknown source of smoke was detected in the cabin", it said.
The incident occurred 130km from the Ghanaian capital but the plane "landed safely in Accra without further incident."
According to a passenger, who sent the incident message on social media, the cabin crew issued them serviette to cover their noses to avoid being choked by the smoke.
He said there was palpable tension on board the aircraft with passengers thrown into fear, resorting to prayer sessions as the smoke escalated.
It was the latest in a string of incidents involving the aviation sector over the past month.
On February 7, an emergency exit door fell off a Dana Air jet as it landed in Abuja after flying in from Lagos.
Six days later, an Atlanta-bound Delta airlines jet was forced to return to Lagos after a fire was detected in one of its engines with passengers using emergency slides to evacuate the plane, officials said.
On February 17, an Air Peace plane had to delay landing in the southwestern city of Akure because cows had strayed onto the runway. Another Dana Air plane overshot the runway at Port Harcourt on February 20 due to heavy rain and flooding.
And on Wednesday, the Nigerian government ordered a complete audit of Dana Air's operations to determine the technical fitness of its fleet.
The airline was grounded after a 2012 crash outside Lagos that killed all 153 on board and six on the ground. Mechanical failure and pilot error
were blamed.
Comment by M. Difato on March 6, 2018 at 5:00pm A power outage affecting one of Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) largest US datacentre regions reportedly knocked hundreds of online services offline across the world on Friday 2 March.
The cloud services giant confirmed that its US-East-1 region suffered two separate power loss incidents over the course of two hours in one of the site’s network peering facilities, each one lasting about 10 minutes.
As a result, organisations that rely on that region to host their applications and workloads “may have experienced internet connectivity issues”, said AWS in a statement on its services status page.
“Our network is designed to be fully redundant with multiple independent peering facilities in every region,” the statement continued. “Some customers experienced elevated latency and packet loss while the network rerouted affected traffic to these unaffected network peering facilities.
“Some packet loss was also observed as we restored traffic to the affected network peering facility.”
Computer Weekly contacted AWS for further details about Friday’s outage, but had not received a response at the time of publication.
According to an analysis of the incident by networking monitoring company ThousandEyes, more than 240 “critical services” that run on the AWS infrastructure suffered a disruption because of the outage, including Slack, Twilio and Atlassian.
According to reports, the incident also blighted US-based users of Amazon’s voice assistant technology Alexa, as well as organisations that rely on the firm’s Direct Connect service to obtain a private connection between their datacentres and the AWS cloud.
“The AWS-East region is one of the first AWS [datacentre] regions and is, hands down, their largest, with at least five availability zones,” wrote Archana Kesavan, senior product marketing manager at ThousandEyes, in a blog post. “What started as a power outage impacting a small set of services quickly cascaded into a major event.”
News of the outage comes nearly a year to the day after Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) suffered an outage that led to widescale disruption across the internet * after an engineer incorrectly executed a command at the same AWS datacentre region that led to an unspecified number of servers falling offline..."

Comment by Scott on February 11, 2018 at 8:05am Major delays inconvenience Oakland BART riders after fire at substation (Feb. 8, 2018)
A BART spokesperson said there was a report of an explosion and a fire at a substation north of Coliseum Station in Oakland, California.
Around 9:40 p.m., BART staff sent word of a 20-minute delay at the Coliseum delay due to a problem under investigation. That problem turned out to be a fire at a substation on-site, and trains resumed service through the Coliseum station around 10:25 p.m. with delays.
Then around 10:35 p.m., a second major delay occurred with reports of smoke on a train returning from the Coliseum station, as well as reports of flames in different locations along the trackway between the San Leandro and Bay Fair stations.
By 12:15 a.m. Friday, service was slowly returning to normal for BART system riders.
