Multi-day power outage for 45,000 Berlin homes after suspected arson attack

Single point of failure and 45k people are without power for multiple days.
toast0•1mo ago
Very few electric customers are served by more than one substation, that substation and the distribution wiring between the substation and the customer are going to be a SPOF, except for the few customers with access to multiple substations.

Some substations don't have redundant feeder power either, although that's more often the case where geography makes it difficult (islands/peninsulas)... But the mention of wiring on a bridge might be an indication that is a geographically difficult area of Berlin?

csomar•1mo ago
Most infrastructure is fragile and is one step away from going down. It basically can’t operate without the assumption that people won’t mess it up.
1718627440•1mo ago
This. Infrastructure as does the whole society, relies on trust.
darubedarob•1mo ago
Ideology driven dark ages, one has to embrace these fits of madness burning itself out.
amadeuspagel•1mo ago
> Germany has been on high alert for sabotage activities directed at its infrastructure, including from foreign actors such as Russia.

This sentence kind of implies that foreign actors committed the attack, but a leftist group took credit for it[1].

A leftist group cannot be sponsored by Russia?
Steven420•1mo ago
How much sponsorship does it take to commit arson?
throw20251220•1mo ago
Who cares? The amount is irrelevant.
immibis•1mo ago
Why would they be? Russia doesn't tend to fund leftist groups. If they're actually a leftist group, it's far more likely to be about Palestine and of their own accord, or because of direct government oppression against them.

Last time I knew of an attack like this in Berlin, it was a direct retaliation after the government attacked their house with military tanks.

jalapenos•1mo ago
I would be especially concerned if the government attacked with non-military tanks.

The government dropping a water tank on your house certainly would be concerning.

UltraSane•1mo ago
This is exactly how Russia operates inside Europe.
throw20251220•1mo ago
20 years in prison for everyone responsible should quickly sort this out. This is sabotage regardless of the motive.
mindslight•1mo ago
How will 20 year prison sentences get the power back on ("sort this out") ? Do you think 20n man-years of prisoner labor can install a new cable in the blink of an eye? Will the prisoners be forced to build a time machine so someone can go back and thwart their plans? Or how else do you envision this happening?
jojomodding•1mo ago
20 years in prison is what you get for murder and even then only when you also fail your first parole hearing.

Which is a good thing. Few people deserve that long in prison.

throw20251220•1mo ago
Yeah yeah. And for printing your own dollars.
tim-tday•1mo ago
Pretty sure arson carries a hefty prison term. And terrorism.
csomar•1mo ago
If 20 people die because of the freezing weather, would life be justifiable then?
johannesberlin•1mo ago
