From the BC Hydro website:PART CCT 12.67 DGR OUT - VANCOUVER | 2003-Dec-30 - 20:00 | 2003-Dec-31 - 00:29 | WEST GEORGIA TO BURRARD INLET, BROUGHTON ST TO THURLOW ST | 213 | Industrial accident | 2003-Dec-31 - 00:32 |
Yet I can't find anything in the news. Why is that? I found stories about a bus accident in Surrey, a car wiping out on the Knight Street bridge, the highway to Whistler closing and such. The CBC had a story about power outages in Richmond, Langley and Coquitlam. WTF? The power goes out for a good chunk of downtown including along the main street through downtown and it's not news? Why? Because no suburban plebs or condo-dwelling SUV owners were affected.
