Large Portion of Los Angeles Loses Power

Sharon Bernstein writes in The LA Times:

A wide ranging power outage caused by an accidently cut cable darkened large sections of downtown Los Angeles and many parts of the San Fernando valley shortly after noon today, authorities said.

Lee Sapaden, a spokesman for the county Office of Emergency Management, said the massive power failure was caused after an employee "inadvertenly cut a power cable" at a DWP substation in West Los Angeles.
