First Energy is being blamed for the worst blackout in U.S. history. What exactly do you think they did wrong?

50%1. They cranked the A/C in their offices, forcing the employees to all plug in their under-the-desk heaters.
5%2. A clumsy employee tripped over and unplugged the main power cord, then plugged it back in backwards.
18%3. They hired the former head of the Arbor Day Foundation to run their tree-management department.
13%4. To save money, they used cardboard mockups instead of real monitoring equipment.

(The numbers might add up to 100%, we're not sure. Just as we were adding them up, the power went out. Our apologies.)
