I really like this minute by minute play. > Estimated total affected people 55,000,000 Now this is not supposed to be a "NA vs. Europe" thing. So here we go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_European_blackout#Timeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_European_blackout#Timelin... Funny how this was actually caused by a planned shutdown of a specific line to let a ship pass. Something that had been done before :) > In total, over 10 million people in northern Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, and Spain lost power or were affected by the blackout It's especially funny how while this was less total people affected, it spread much more so to speak. I would tend to believe that this is actually due to the fact that Europe's power grid is way more interconnected, meaning that they could power more people more quickly again by just routing electricity differently than they would usually do.
