Power station blast blacks out Bermuda
A massive explosion at Bermuda’s only electricity company triggered an island-wide power blackout, paralysing commerce in the British territory and international centre for offshore insurance companies.
A systems failure at one of the power station transmission boards was believed to have caused yesterday’s 3am (8am Irish time) blast, said company president Gary Madeiros. The privately-owned company, Belco, said it was investigating.
