A single vehicle knocked out all of downtown’s power Tuesday night after the driver lost control and ran into a utility pole.
“What happened here is basically the same thing that happens in heavy weather conditions,” said Fire Marshall Ken Bell. “When a wire starts bouncing around and it hits a primary system, it causes a reaction at the substation and it responds by opening the safety circuits which cause the power to go out.”
Bell said he sees large power outages like Tuesday’s approximately a dozen times in a year.

The University Star opinion’s columnist Nathan Seltzer has bravely exposed a conspiracy that my colleagues and I have been deviously complicit in.
Last week, the World Health Organization in league with the Illuminate flew The University Star’s editors, along with the leaders of all the major media outlets, to a conference to discuss how we will keep people scared, complicit and under our control.
There we decided to run articles about the H1N1 virus and, by keeping people scared and irrational, do our part to keep the shadow government in power.
