Portugal, Spain and France: Lessons from the Blackout

On Monday April 28, the whole of Portugal and parts of Spain and France experienced a total power outage. Lessons? 11.33 in the morning. Zoom meetings froze, elevators ground to a halt, some empty, some with three users, some packed. Some passengers with intestinal problems, some carrying small babies. Metro systems stopped suddenly leaving passengers trapped undergound between stations. Traffic lights stopped working. It is only a local thing, they’ll restore power soon.
