swedish newpaper has a article on it and thats what they claim.
a worker from "San Diego Gas & Electric "
did a google translate on it
"One person knocked out power - for 5 million people
A massive power outage left about 5 million people without electricity in California and Mexico.
And a lone employee at the power company may have caused the error.
The massive power failure occurred on Thursday and nearly 5 million people in Baja California, Arizona and Mexico became energized.
First on Friday, the power can be back, writes Reuters.
The error will depend on the "human factor." A repairman at the power company San Diego Gas & Electric were working on maintenance work when the accident occurred.
The airport was closed
All flights from San Diego were canceled, and large parts of the city was dark. Traffic lights stopped working and the fire department has been saving more than 70 people trapped in elevators.
No serious accidents have occurred, however. Hospitals could switch to backup power.
Schools in San Diego has closed and will reopen on Monday.
Major problems
Elfelet was especially great when even one nuclear power plant initially knocked out.
- Prepare to be in the dark, said Michael Niggli, a spokesman for San Diego Gas & Electric said.
The blackout has caused major problems, as ATMs, gas stations and phones stopped working."
