Risk is ever-present in life. Managing risk is both an art and a
science, but one must not let the emotions rule. A power-cut such as
this was very much shorter than many cities could even dream of.

The technical issues of what caused the outage should be simple
enough to find out. What the Mayor of London should be asking are
questions about the impact of such events, and the capacity of the
city to cope with thousands of people in various states of anger and
shock all milling about not knowing what to do. How good were the
flows of information about the event and it's resolution, and how
were people informed so they could make sensible choices about what
to do.
