India suffered its second huge, crippling power failure in two days Tuesday, depriving as much as half of the vast and populous country, or up to 600 million people, of electricity and disrupting transport networks.
The first power grid collapse, on Monday, was the country's worst blackout in a decade. It affected seven states in northern India that are home to more than 350 million people.
But Tuesday's failure was even larger, hitting eastern and northeastern areas as well.
Both blackouts cut power in the Indian capital, New Delhi.
The power companies that operate the affected electricity grids reported Tuesday's collapse on their websites.
With about 1.2 billion people, India has the second-highest population of any country, behind China.

These guys can't even keep the power on for pete's sake ! Never in the history of mankind has this happened at such a scale !
Wouldn't one expect this living in India? I don't know how, but things always seem to work out okay for me. I think that's because I don't live in India or anywhere near there.
The Indian entrepreneur's famous quote "I don't need no stinkin infrastructure, I built my business all by myself"
This is just a start from the solar activity. Unfortunately it may spread elsewhere. Electricity could cripple the world by the time the solar activity peaks after 12.21.2012
Have some type of plan because if it doesn't get rough by the end of 2012, than the world should stabilize. Wars among countries and civil wars should be followed by democracy. This world is precious, make the best of it. Work hard and build a small fortune, have a family and die happy believing in God, and His only son Jesus Christ. He will you eternal life.
Figure the talibans are behind this? Hope they did not steal the nukes. Panetta should have the sniffers out there.
Soon, the end will come.
Don't you feel it?
Embrace it,
Hope
