Hospitals were affected too, I don't think it's that far fetched to think some people died, or at least some could not have been saved due to this incident.

  > Hospitals were affected too, I don't think it's that far fetched to think some people died Absent evidence I’d say it is. Hospitals have emergency downtime procedures [1]. From what I can tell, the outage was stressful, not deadly.

    Apply additional stress to a sufficiently large system that human lives depend on, and someone, somewhere will die.

      > Apply additional stress to a sufficiently large system that human lives depend on, and someone, somewhere will die Sure. Who did? When a bridge collapses, this isn’t a tough problem. We don’t need to reason from first principles to derive the dead bodies. That’s the difference.
