Why isn't this plastered across all the US news channels the way there power cut

A 34 minute power failure affecting 10m people is far less serious
than an 8 hour power failure affecting 50m people.


Err, except that National Grid are claiming 3/4 million 'customers' lost
their supply.


The London Underground is one customer - how many people were affected
by the loss of power to that one customer?
