It's admittedly a wild theory, but it was the first thing that came to mind. After the game I googled, and came across this gem:
"Michael Burns, a spokesman for Entergy Services, the local utility, said that his company’s distribution and transmission feeders that serve the Superdome were never interrupted. Power did not go out elsewhere in the city. " http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/04/sports/football/power-outage-in-superdome-delays-super-bowl.html As many on this list may know, SCADA vulnerabilities are rampant in the US power grid. And Stuxnet was targeted at SCADA systems overseas. Now, there's admittedly no evidence, so this is just idle speculation on my part, but I'd be surprised if I was the only one musing along these lines, and thought it might be interesting to start a thread about the possibility. -- Greg Norcie (g...@norcie.com) GPG key: 0x1B873635 -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
