lulz.. BC Hydro Worker told to shut up by BC Hydro Media Relations Manager after he was caught telling the news cameras what really happened and why it happened.

So what really happened and why?

Hm. There is no longer a red blob over my office on BC Hydro's map. Guess that means I have to go to work tomorrow. Boo.

According to the BC Hydro worker..

"This time of the year, it's really hot out here. The air conditioners are on and probably max loads on these cables. Our infrastructure isn't as good as it used to be, we don't have the crews we used to have, we don't have the staff we used to have."

Then he was cut off and told to hold the burn't wire in the air and show it to the cameras.

they have that at pretty much every intersection so that the traffic lights work at least, it had me wonderin' who refills the gas.
then we came upon georgia and burrard....and learned there is no one who's job is to just refill the generator
