Strange this, only two power sources disconnected from the grid within two minutes of each other. Only 5% of the capacity.
It took over two hours to restore and up to half a million people without power at one point.
Thought our National Grid was a bit more robust than that?

EDIT: Looks like we aren't getting all the facts yet. National Power spokeschap says the two generators were back online within 15 minutes. They are "a substantial part of the generating capacity", so not 5% then?
I get the impression they were took by surprise by how much of the grid auto-disconnected?
