Default London bombs - what to make of the 'power surge' claim?

Just some LUT cock-up.

"Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein, the political movement linked to the Irish Republican Army: "I condemn the bomb
attacks in London this morning."

Is that statement retroactive?

How should we read the 'power surge' claim?

Was there a power surge?

If so, what caused it?

Certainly, if there was a power surge, there should be a very good
record that it occurred.

Presumably there are various kinds of covert detection technology at
tube stations, and also a weapon exists (used e.g. to defend buildings)
that can trigger e.g. a lorry to explode before it reaches its
destination. Not that I am building anything on this, but it makes you
wonder what may have been done using the electrical cables of the tube
system today.
