Power returns after major outage across Wellington region following substation explosion
10:42, Mar 12 2020
More than 94,000 customers were left without power across the Wellington region following an explosion at a substation.
The explosion at the Haywards substation switch yard in Lower Hutt, about 8.20am, was likely caused by human error during routine maintenance, Transpower chief executive Alison Andrews said.
"When high voltage goes to earth it is a bit like a lightning strike with a flash and a bang."
No one was injured and there was no damage to equipment as a result of the explosion, she said
The power outage affected core services across the region with commuter trains cancelled and Wellingtonians asked not to flush their toilets while waste pumps were not operating
Power was restored to providers at 9.50am, but it would take longer for it to be returned to consumers.
Andrews said it appeared the explosion was a result of human error, but a investigation would be launched.
She apologised on behalf of the company for the disruption caused.
In a statement online, Wellington Electricity said "a major fault involving Transpower's network has affected power supply to the Wellington Electricity network, impacting our customers in the Hutt Valley."
By 10am Wellington Electricity spokesman Dave Mulligan said power had been restored in Upper and Lower Hutt for the entire Wellington Electricity network. About 63,000 Wellington Electricity customers were affected during the outage.
Powerco, which services the Wairarapa, said that once Transpower resumed service, Powerco would "need to implement a graduated restoration process".
About 31,000 Powerco customers were affected.
When the outage occurred, a large number of properties were without power across Wellington, Hutt Valley and Wairarapa. Hospitals and some buildings in central Wellington were operating on generators.
Wellington Water asked people in the region not to flush their toilets until power was restored because the outage was affecting drinking water, pump stations and water treatment plants across the region.
Spokesperson Alex Van Passen said the drinking water quality was not affected but the power outage prevented pumps from drawing more water into reservoirs.
"In a situation like this, we don't know when it will be restored," he said.
Wastewater pumps were also affected, putting sewer pipes at risk of backing up and overflowing into streams and the ocean.
MEDICAL AND TRANSPORT
Wellington Free Ambulance warned the power outage had led to a "large increase in workload".
A Capital & Coast District Health Board spokesman said all its campuses had power, though some were operating on generators.
The Hutt Valley, Melling and Wairarapa train lines were all disrupted.
A Metlink spokesperson said all trains into the city had been affected by the power outage on Wednesday morning.
Intermittent power was allowing Metlink to move trains slowly towards Wellington, with all outbound services delayed.
Bus services along the Hutt Valley, Wairarapa, and Melling lines were accepting rail tickets as payment.
Real-time information went down for buses, and Snapper card top-ups were also unavailable. Commuters were asked to use cash instead.
Traffic lights were briefly out on State Highway 2 at the intersection of Gibbons St, and police were warning motorists to take care as other traffic lights may have been affected.
Hutt City Council had closed its community facilities.
BUSINESS IMPACTED
Te Aro Brewery co-owner Karl Hayes said a large amount of their hops would have to be dumped after the brewery lost power.
"We went down to the South Island yesterday to pick up fresh hops from one of the farms and it's kind of time critical that we brew it as soon as possible.
"It's going to have to be dumped ... there's no way to recover it."
Smoke was seen at Transpower's Haywards Substation, with 63,000 properties without power in the Hutt Valley, and the Wairarapa also impacted.
Trains services have been impacted by the power outage.

A maintenance crew from Offutt Air Force Base was in Lincoln on Tuesday examining an Offutt-based E-4B Nightwatch jet that made an emergency landing at the Lincoln Airport the day before.
The Air Force jet, using call sign GORDO14, took off from Offutt shortly before 11 a.m. and was flying over southwest Iowa. Then it broke off toward the west over Nebraska City and flew to Lincoln, where it landed about 11:50 a.m. It was met by fire crews from the Nebraska Air National Guard, which operates from the airfield.
The E-4B crew declared the emergency “out of an abundance of caution” after instruments indicated problems with the aircraft’s hydraulic system, said Ryan Hansen, a spokesman for the Offutt-based 55th Wing.
Landing gear, brakes and flaps are critical equipment that depend on the hydraulic system.
One runway was closed for about an hour until the aircraft could be towed to a National Guard facility, said Bob McNally, the airport’s operations manager. No civilian flights were diverted or delayed.
The plane, tail number 75-0125, was manufactured in 1975 and is one of four E-4Bs that operate out of Offutt as part of the 595th Command and Control Group. Known popularly as “Doomsday Planes,” they serve as airborne command posts for the president and top military leaders in the event of nuclear war or other national emergency. Sometimes they are also used by the secretary of defense for official travel.
The plane that landed in Lincoln accompanied President Donald Trump last week on his trip to India.
The E-4Bs were built in the mid-1970s and are a military version of the Boeing 747-200, which was produced from 1968 to 1991. They are the oldest 747 variants still flying in the world. Hydraulic problems are common in aging aircraft.
The E-4B hangar at Offutt was hit by a tornado in June 2017, causing $8.3 million worth of damage to two of the planes. And the unit’s hangar and headquarters building were damaged in the floods that caused more than $800 million in damage at Offutt in March 2019.
The Air Force is studying possible replacements for the E-4B. During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday, Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., asked Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett about the status of the study.
“The challenges of maintaining that outdated airframe are only getting harder,” Fischer said. “This issue should not be studied indefinitely.”

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — An Air Canada flight returned to San Francisco International Airport Sunday shortly after take-off, making an emergency landing and quickly evacuating the 71 passengers aboard using the plane’s emergency slides, officials said.
Air Canada said the plane — Air Canada JAZZ flight 8839 to Vancouver — had taken off as scheduled from SFO at 8:18 a.m. But the Canadair Regional twin engine jet’s crew almost immediately reported smoke in the cockpit and a lavatory.
Air traffic controllers ordered the plane to quickly return to the airport and fire trucks and emergency crews were rolled out onto Runway 28R.
The plane safely landed, rolled to a stop on the runway and the passengers and crew were forced to use the evacuation slides to get off the jet.
Aman Dhillon was on the flight and posted a video of the passengers standing on the tarmac as fire crews were nearby. He tweeted that passengers also departed the plane using the wing exits and jumped to the ground.
No injuries were immediately reported. Buses transported the passengers to the terminal. The FAA was investigating the incident.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Some scary moments for passengers aboard a Canadian-bound flight. Their plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Memphis overnight.
The passengers were headed back from paradise, so you can imagine sleeping on air mattresses at Memphis International was probably the last thing they expected.
The airline said the plane made an emergency landing because of an e-cigarette.
According to the Canadian News Network (CTV), Sunwing Airlines, a Canadian airline company, confirmed one of their planes made an emergency landing in Memphis.
The airline said the passengers were on their way back from Cancun to Calgary when smoke began to fill the cabin. The airline said it is believed that a passenger’s vape pen may have accidentally discharged.
Passengers shared their experiences on Twitter. They praised the Memphis airport staff for providing food, water and air mattresses.
We checked and the FAA requires vape pens to be carried on in your carry-on and you are told to take out the batteries.
Keep in mind, this was an international flight, so they don’t operate under FAA rules.
However, it appears the rules for e-cigs are similar, the devices can be carried on but must be stored away.
The airline said thankfully all passengers and crew members are safe, and there appears to be no damage to the plane.

Boeing Co (BA.N) told the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration it does not believe it needs to separate or move wiring bundles on its grounded 737 MAX jetliner that regulators have warned could short circuit with catastrophic consequences, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The FAA confirmed Friday it had received a proposal from the planemaker regarding the wiring issue.
The FAA will “rigorously evaluate Boeing’s proposal to address a recently discovered wiring issue with the 737 MAX. The manufacturer must demonstrate compliance with all certification standards,” the agency said in a statement.
The U.S. planemaker and FAA first said in early January they were reviewing a wiring issue that could potentially cause a short circuit on the 737 MAX, and under certain circumstances lead to a crash if pilots did not react in time.
A Boeing spokesman referred all questions on wiring to the FAA, saying the agency would make the final decision and that the company is answering questions from the FAA.
Boeing’s 737 MAX was grounded worldwide last March after two crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed 346 people within five months.
Boeing has spent months updating the stall-prevention software known as MCAS linked to both crashes, but fresh issues have surfaced, complicating regulators’ efforts to re-approve the plane.
Given intense scrutiny of the 737 MAX, Boeing is sure to face questions about whether the MCAS system makes it harder for pilots to react in the event of a short circuit.
There are more than a dozen different locations on the 737 MAX where wiring bundles may be too close together. Most of the locations are under the cockpit in an electrical bay.
If the bundles pose a potential hazard, regulations would typically require separating the bundles or adding a physical barrier.
Boeing has noted in talks with the FAA that the same wiring bundles are in the 737 NG, which has been in service since 1997 and logged 205 million flight hours without any wiring issues.
New safety rules on wiring were adopted in the aftermath of the 1998 Swiss Air 111 crash.
A company official told Reuters last month Boeing had been working on a design that would separate the wiring bundles, if necessary. Moving the bundles could pose further delays to the return of the MAX, however, and Reuters reported Thursday that a key certification test flight was not expected until April or later.
Three U.S. airlines this week pushed back the resumption of 737 MAX flights from June until August or later. Boeing has estimated U.S. officials would lift a safety ban on the aircraft around mid-year.
It is unclear whether the European Union Aviation Safety Agency will demand the MAX wiring bundles be separated. A spokeswoman for the agency on Thursday said regulators were “waiting for additional information from Boeing.”

Video from inside the plane, sent to us from a passenger onboard, shows moments after the pilot was able to safely land the plane just outside the airport.
Alex Caruso’s Barber@FlyLikeJayyMy flight this morning lost all electrical power headed into SMF and the pilot manually landed the plane away from the airport. We hit the ground so hard the cockpit door burst open. I assume the fire trucks were there in case he couldn’t pull off the landing
“In my 21 years as a pilot I have never experienced anything like this,” the pilot said over the intercom.
Officials said the plane had electrical issues, but everyone landed safely. No injuries were reported.

Oman Air flight with Keralites on board makes emergency landing in Turkey
https://english.manoramaonline.com/news/world/2020/02/09/oman-fligh...
An Oman Air flight from Zurich to Muscat made an emergency landing at Diyarbakir airport
in Turkey early on Sunday (Feb 9) due to technical glitches.
The landing was necessitated because of the fault in the in the cabin pressure regulating
instrument, said a statement from Oman Air.
No one was hurt in the incident. Passengers, including a few from Kerala, have been shifted
to a nearby hotel, the airline said. The technical issue was noticed around 3am on Sunday
when the plane was flying over Syrian-Turkey border. A Keralite passenger on board said
smoke filled the cabin following the malfunction. “Most of the passengers were sleeping at
that time. The flight nose-dived for a few seconds. The cabin crew were seen running
around with fire extinguishers,” he said. The flight which left Zurich at 9:30pm on Saturday
was to land in Muscat at 7:05am on Sunday...."

TAMPA, Fla. — A military aircraft made an emergency landing during what was supposed to be a public relations flight Thursday in Tampa.
The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker took off from MacDill Air Force Base. The all-female crew was taking more than 20 middle school girls and school staff members along for a STEM field trip that was supposed to include refueling a cargo plane over the Carolinas.
During the flight, the plane developed an issue with the "boom pod," which is used for refueling other planes. It's located in the back of the aircraft. One of the pilots spotted a small amount of condensation or smoke in the area, so the crew decided to return to MacDill out of an abundance of caution.
The students and staff members were given Oxygen hoods -- just in case.
The KC-135 declared an emergency to be safe, but the plane made a smooth landing about 45 minutes after it originally left MacDill.
The students were from Coleman and McLean Middle Schools. Nobody was hurt.
Maintenance crews are examining the plane to determine exactly what happened.
