EMP denial

MAJOR Internet Outage, November 18, 2025.

Cloudflare down today: Cloudflare, a company that usually works quietly behind the scenes to keep much of the internet running smoothly, found itself front and center on Tuesday morning after a major outage disrupted access to some of the world’s biggest websites

JUST IN - Trump says he will be recommending a bonus of $10,000 for every air traffic controller that didn't take any time off during the "Democrat Shutdown Hoax."

November 6, 2025-Airlines have been ordered to cancel thousands of flights because of the government shutdown and drones near airports. While they provide explanations to passengers, they fail to address the risks posed by Nibiru debris entering the atmosphere and the EMPs caused by tectonic plate shifts. 

Amazon Web Services recovered Monday morning from a widespread outage that disrupted services for major retailers, airlines, social media apps, financial platforms, and more. AWS infrastructure supports millions of websites and platforms. Air France 447 in 2009, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and the recent Germanwings A320 incidents have drawn attention due to their significant impact on the airline industry, often attributing blame to pilot suicide, storms, or poor judgment. Similarly, crashes involving electric trains like the Disney Monorail, DC Metro in 2009, and Amtrak 188 are investigated with discussions of safety devices, track maintenance, or mechanical failure taking center stage. 

The public only begins to suspect something larger at play when widespread issues arise. Disruptions in cell phone service are often blamed on blocked tower access or bad weather, while the Blackberry outage in 2008 was attributed to a software glitch. However, engineers maintaining equipment and the grid are not easily deceived. During the Washington DC blackout, an electrical issue initially described as a "surge" hinted at something unusual. 

A key distinction exists between a failed electrical system, a simple outage, and an electromagnetic pulse. A pulse causes a surge—a sudden increase in magnetons and electrons—that disrupts equipment reliant on steady particle flow, leading to a runaway state. Surge protection can guard against lightning strikes, shutting down equipment to prevent damage. Yet, absent a lightning strike, such surges may point to the charged tail of Planet X, also known as Nibiru. 

What lies ahead for the public? As cell phone service and satellite cable TV continue to degrade, and as planes experience increasing electronics failures or cockpit smoke incidents, the challenges posed by such phenomena may become harder to ignore.

4 trapped in elevators after fire causes power outage in Prescott Valley

https://www.dcourier.com/news/2017/may/17/transformer-fire-causes-p...

 A fire in a transformer at the M&I Windows and Doors facility in the 7500 block of East Highway 69 Wednesday morning caused a widespread power outage in Prescott Valley — which trapped four people in elevators.

Over 1,300 customers were initially affected as power went out around 10:30 a.m., APS spokesman Alan Bunnell said.

Traffic lights were out at intersections around town for a brief time.

Elevators at Yavapai Regional Medical Center’s Del E. Webb Outpatient Center and the Yavapai Community Clinic were stuck between floors and Central Arizona Fire crews had to rescue two people from each of them, Division Chief Rick Chase said.

“They were able to use their key to open the outside doors (at the center) — there’s a special device we have — and, luckily, that elevator was only about a foot off the floor, so they just helped the people out.”

The other elevator was “several feet” from the floor, Davis said, and, the two people in it were a little more difficult to extricate, but they got out safely.

In all, the people were trapped in the elevators for about 30 minutes.

Firefighters didn’t put any water on the transformer fire, but waited for an APS crew to arrive, Davis said, and when a small transformer on a nearby pole ignited and caused a small grass fire, they were able to put it out quickly.

The fire was caught on video by Kathy Fitz; see  dCourier.com to view the video.

Within an hour, APS had all but 42 customers back online as a result of re-routing power, Bunnell said, and, by 2:30 p.m., only one customer remained without electricity.

The area affected was from Lake Shore Drive to Fourth Street and Kings Highway to Bravo Lane.

The whole of Greater Manchester's tram network was shut down on Sunday because of a technical fault.

The whole of Greater Manchester's tram network was shut down on Sunday because of a technical fault.

Control room staff lost visible sight of trams, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) said.

A spokeswoman said the failure, which is not being linked to a cyber-attack, was discovered at about 15:50 BST.

The service remained out of action until the end of the day, but transport chiefs said it would be running normally on Monday.

Earlier Metrolink had said it had not yet been able to locate the fault and technicians would be working through the night to resolve the problem.

But shortly after midnight, the firm said: "All tram services are set to operate as normal on Monday morning following a major technical issue on Sunday which affected the network."

'Stranded with children'

On Sunday afternoon, all services stopped with Metrolink saying: "Due to a communication fault, all lines are suspended."

At about 22:00 Metrolink had added: "Technicians will work through the night, but until the fault is identified there is no timescale for recovery of the systems."

Frustrated travellers contacted the BBC to share their stories.

One, who bought tickets just before the service stopped, said: "I was stranded with three small children.

"I ended up having to pay for a taxi which cost me a further £7 on top of my tram ticket."

Another simply described it as "a shambles".

Metrolink apologised for the inconvenience and later said: "Apologies again and thank you for all your patience today."

Benicia refinery power failure causes flaring, smoke, evacuations  May 5, 2017

http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Flaring-at-Valero-Refinery-in...

A power failure at the Valero Refinery in Benicia on Friday caused major flaring at the plant and sent

plumes of black smoke wafting over the community, prompting the evacuation of a nearby industrial

park and shelter-in-place orders at two elementary schools, officials said.

The blackout was reported about 6:45 a.m. at the refinery at 3400 East Second Street because of an

electrical disruption traced to Pacific Gas and Electric Co. equipment, said Valero spokeswoman Lillian

Riojas.

The blackout occurred during the routine switching of an electric-transmission system, in which power was transferred from one circuit to another, said PG&E spokeswoman Deanna Contreras.

“This resulted in sending product to the flare, an industrial safety device that is normally used to safely

dispose of products in a controlled manner during power outages or other situations,” Riojas said

 “Power, electricity is necessary to run the refinery.”

No injuries were reported. Power was restored by 6:58 a.m., Contreras said, but flaring from the refinery’s

smokestacks continued for several hours. “We are looking into the cause of the outage,” Contreras added.

During the crisis, the Benicia Industrial Park was evacuated, and evacuees were directed to the Benicia

Community Center at 370 East L St., according to city officials. Entrances into the industrial park were

closed, including the off-ramps from Interstate 680, until the evacuation was lifted.

The Benicia Unified School District also ordered a shelter in place for students at Robert Semple

Elementary and Matthew Turner Elementary schools, which was lifted about 1:30 p.m.

Other shelter-in-place advisories for nearby residential areas were called off about 9:15 a.m., but residents

were told to keep doors and windows closed and to bring pets inside, city officials said.
