I could be mistaken, but from what I'm seeing in that thread they really have no idea what caused it. Which, btw, seems fairly reasonable for how early into this incident it is. I wouldn't expect a root cause for a while.
Delta Airlines also called their outage a "power outage", but it looks like there was reason to believe it wasn't.

- tyingq 9y agoI don't put much stock in that article. Their conspiracy theory is that no other businesses saw a power outage. But it didn't have to be a supplier/mains problem. They could have had an issue with their own, internal power grid. Their data center likely has a UPS, generators, huge switches to move back and forth from battery/mains/generator etc. A fault there would cause an outage.
