AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a significant power outage affecting the eastern United States, highlighting the chaos caused by the loss of electricity, including non-functioning traffic lights and air conditioning. Participants reflect on personal experiences during the outage, noting disparities in power availability across different regions, such as some areas still having electricity while others were completely drained.

i say that with all of those crowds, people should be holding a massive protest with sign reading, "Power to the People!"...
 
Zantra in the 5 hours i didnt have power I was thinking "where did all the light go?" and even though i didnt have power to come on my computer I am glad you told me:wink:

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.

Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
