Mainichi Newspaper sure did...

Blackout would cripple Tokyo subway system
Aug 15 / Mainichi
A blackout similar to the one that occurred in North America overnight would halt Tokyo's subway system, railways officials said Friday.
Subways would be rendered useless because the Teito Rapid Transit Authority's eight subway lines that carry a daily average of 5.6 million passengers in the metropolitan area depend entirely on electricity supplied by the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO).
But the aboveground train system run by the East Japan Railway Co. has its own generators for use...

Imagine trying to climb out of the Oedo line in a blackout??? It is miles down deep at some stations.

*shudder*

[Gaisaradatsuraku!]

Holy mackeral. I've been cooped up for over 24 hours!

WOT? Are ya running on solar cells?

[Taro Toporific]

[Gaisaradatsuraku!]

Dude, I was operating in blackout conditions, I'll PM with the details!

YIKES! We Americanos are so far ahead of the Japanese after all. But this was probably the fault of the GD Canucks!

Ya, So Far Ahead..?!? But then where would the Yanks be w/o the "GD Canucks.." !?!?

In the Freakin Dark.. Eh..

[Gaisaradatsuraku!]

Yeah, where would America be without Canada, that French pidgin portal for terrorists and the source of gigantic freaking blackouts.

A nation of draft dodgers and harness drivers, Canada is the most loathesome of Western democracies (France is really number one on the bad list but everyone knows about them).

[canman]

I think this was all planned by Canada to get the US to open up their markets to our beef. Don't accept our beef, then no electricity for you my boy. Hell we even forced some Japanese companies to shut down, two for the price of one. Now if we could only disrupt the power system in Nagatacho.

You Canucks have accomplished two things over the past 30 hours:

1) Lost a major customer
2) Created a major competitor

You bunch of drunks should be hauled off, shot, kicked, and pushed off a balcony in that order

Um. Does anybody know exactly what happened? I find it strange that there are NO clues. Or do you think they know but don't want to educate the terrorists? Was it the Microsoft worm?

I like how Bush is calling for immediate modernizing of the grid-system without knowing the cause; shoot first, think later.. It worked in Iraq.

Plenty of French folks in New Orleans.. while the francois population makes up less than 20% of Canada, they sure can be a vocal minority, Just like France..!!

Terrorists.. pretty straight forward that none of 911 teams came through Canada, easy to point fingers.. but really nobody to blame north of 60.

Draft dodgers.. do you mean Americans looking to get out of doing their 'duty'.. or does Uncle Sam have some new international power to draft people from other countries?!?

Democratic.. Jeez, ever heard of a hanging chad..?!? How proud you must be of the American electoral process. Nice Democracy brother Jeb.

Dude.. I don't wanna tangle with you about this kinda political crap.. People are People - Canadian or American whatever - but when it comes to governments I know which side of the line I'd rather be on!! Black-outs happen.. Remember Calf. ?!?

Yeah, you would rather be in Canada. A nation of slow talking freeloaders. Canadians are pigs of democracy. They eat the democracy that America craps out.

[Pizzicatoblue]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we have a another blackout in the south. It happens all the time over here during the summer. We're pretty used to it.

Really.. great come-back.. I was expecting more but then you really didn't have much merit to counter point. Typical though if you have no real case to argue then hurl insults (or bombs). Fact Check Snapper-Head.. the Brits are the only ones eating American Democracy Crap these days..!!!

[kotatsuneko]

i disagree... we aren't eating it as much as our cunt of a pm force feeding it to the people as a "good thing"

then again, the uk seems more the usa's bitch than japan is..

thing is , in the uk media , anti american sentiments are shut out since 9 11 , most people i know can't stand the way our little island has been treated like a 52nd state, and filled with american trash...

the french might well be derided internationally, with some merit, but at least they try and maintain a sense of their own culture.. in that respect, a shame japan didnt do the same back in the occupation days..

hokkaido is about as japanese as pizza hut.. the way it feels to me, its like a small american state where they just happen to speak japanese.. i wonder if the other islands are the same sorry state? when i left it the uk was in a similar state, when i grew up, the culture and attitudes were intrinsically british, by the time i reached 30, it seemed like an island of american trash addicts..

yes i am rather anti america inc, but i'm not anti american people get me? if not, who cares ^^

So you don't like America, which is created by the American people and reflects their values, but you claim to somehow not be anti the American people, who made America the way it is in the first place.............and keep it that way.......

Hmmm, there is a suspicious disparity there......

Are you blaming modern English culture on America, when really America is a convienient and psychologically comforting scapegoat for England's modern values?

"yes i am rather anti america inc, but i'm not anti american people get me? if not, who cares ^^"

i know 4 people in america, and have been in contact with them for around 3 years or so, a lot of the time, they share the same despair over their own culture

when it comes down to it, this whole planet is trash really.. perhaps what i should say is this planet sucks ... i hate the whole place..

my bad for replying to a comment and expanding on my own opinions which are a waste of time discussing as they are just that - my opinions which have no place in a japan based discussion board - the comment regarding brits swallowing american democracy was based on media reports on the brit pm i guess - who is not representative of the uk populations view on it or the usa as a whole...

All sorts of things get discussed here and it can't always be about Japan the whole time, people get sidetracked , which makes things interesting.

Do you mean dispair over 'low brow culture' such as Jerry Springer and Big Brother, or the political culture?

Alcazar

[Alcazar]

Kots, why do you always walk away from a discusion? Discussing and arguing about issues is fun and challenging, you can think things through and it can help you to solidify and develop your own views. No skin off your nose, you are sitting at a computer.

You say that you hate the planet, and on another thread that '99% of humanity is scum', not the words of a happy man. What are you so depressed about?

I find that the way to solve stress and concerns is to take a problem and think about the whole situation from a different angle, so it becomes a positive. Things can be bad, but find the silver lining in any situation. This is a better solution for your mind than just dropping another snickers bar.

An email from my very good friend in NY.. he is a guy I know from Osaka who is now in a wheelchair but studying English in NYC. It seems as if his friend carried him up to the 19 floor to his apartment!!

Well at least we know what caused the blackout.

As we mentioned in previous story, the greatest U.S./Canada black-out was to block the wire-transfers of Saudi funds deposited mainly in money center banks in New York.

The transfers scheduled to begin that Thursday afternoon, August 14, 2003, was to start with 98 Billion Dollars, part of upwards of One Trillion Dollars of Saudi monies in U.S. banks.

Nah, it wasn't the Saudi problem, it was Ohio. It was American Oyaji'scomplex plot to escape "the only Japanese place in USA. O-HI-O".

Ohio company tied to blackout has financial, pollution troubles
Associated Press / Aug 18
... Investigators were "fairly certain" that the problem started in Ohio, said Michehl Gent, head of the North American Electric Reliability Council. ...

WHIMP!

A REAL gimp can pull themself and their superduper, ultralight titanium wheelchair up backwards step-by-step. Of course, that requires sufficient upper body strength. But hey, it works for 8 or 12 steps for me, and who knows, maybe 19 floors would set a world's record! Your NYC J-gimp buddy missed an oportunity of a lifetime.

Hell, Miss Manners is still on [OBON] vacation, so as Master Manners will respond.

Dressed as a Dominator/Dominatrix, welcome everyone by standing at the bottom of the stairs with a whip. make him/her get off the wheelchair and crawl up the stairs, it would be fun for you to reward them with a few lashes as soon as they reach the top. If they need help, get a severe]Bentvoices --Etiquette[/url] column.

[Big Booger]

Isn't Pongi from Ohio? MMM...

[passthedutchie]

All you Yanks who muttered crap about Canada can eat your words, 'cus a switch in Ohio is to blame.

God damn you Yanks can be ignorant fools.

[American Oyaji]

Nah, it wasn't the Saudi problem, it was Ohio. It was American Oyaji'scomplex plot to escape "the only Japanese place in USA. O-HI-O"..
