They were so quick to make sure people knew it wasn't them, too.

What do you expect from a company that has a traitor Notre Dame graduate as its CEO. Part of the same program that got you guys in New Orleans Ray Nagin and see where that left you

I wonder who lost their job over this.


You have to wonder. Looks like they diagnosed the problem well in advance and bungled the solution.

I'd be willing to bet it was engineer error as opposed to equipment failure.


this. The relay did its job. I blame the programming/configuration, not the device.

in fairness, that switchgear which had the relay in question does below to the superdome, not Entergy.
