The great power failure at Tokyo


On Monday morning, some trains of Tokyo stopped suddenly.
The crane boat cut the power line at "旧江戸川".

Effect was not only trains.
Over 900 of elevators stopped and some people shut into the elevators.
Over 200 of ATMs stopped.
Some banks had to delay the opening time.
Most of traffic signals stopped and officers controlled traffic.
TDL had to delay the opening time.

TEPCO said "This happening never occurred to us that would happen.".

Tokyo is big city.
So, they have to take care about these happening too.

Thank you for your reading!
& PEACE
