Electrical Outage

 This is an unusual story, and the police are in the middle of it...investigating.

So a fire started up on Friday morning (3 AM) with a electrical-cable renovation site....that affected a fair amount of electricity to neighborhoods on the eastern side of Munich (Bavaria).

Around 150 transformer stations then failed.  

Outage time?  Almost 24 hours.

What the authorities in town say is that around 20,000 residences were in affected area.

So, to the main question now....arson?  BR, public TV for Bavaria has a good update on the story.

Oddly, around a year ago....same time period....another fire was set, which affected BR radio transmission.  Connection?  Nothing yet, but that fire was supposedly arson.
