Power Outage Not Due to Equipment Failure By Catherine S. Blake Associated Press Writer Published: Feb 28, 2002 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The FBI on Thursday said an explosion that knocked out power to thousands of people over the weekend was not caused by equipment failure. That left open the possibility of a bomb or other sabotage. The bureau said in a statement that investigators do not think the explosion at a Utah Power substation was the work of terrorists or was related to the Winter Olympics, which wrapped up Sunday evening. No injuries were reported. The substation was slightly damaged and all customers had power restored within two hours. A law enforcement source who earlier spoke on condition of anonymity said railroad spikes found at the scene had caused indentations in metal near the explosion, which led investigators to consider the possibility of a bomb. The bureau said it awaiting lab results that could indicate the presence of explosives. Investigators also found a hole cut in a security fence surrounding the substation where the property may have been entered. The blast occurred about 10 a.m., eight hours before the start of the Winter Games' closing ceremony. Organizers and federal and state government agencies spent $310 million to safeguard the 17-day Winter Olympics. ap.tbo.com

People don't realize just how much money the arab world has received over the last 30 years from oil. It must be in the trillions. What did they do with it all? They spent it on junk. That's not our fault, that's their fault. They could have spent the money building factories, medical laboratories to find cures for disease, water treatment plants to make their country green. No, they decided to spend it on palaces and jets. They decided to spend it on religious schools to churn out more religious fanatics. They decided to spend it on ski trips to aspen. If Isreal is hit by a meteor tomorrow, & every Jew there is killed, guess what......... The arabs will still be a worthless bunch of people, incapable of doing anything except killing one another over who prayed incorrectly.
