A few years ago, a stork flew against a main power cable and cause the biggest power loss in the country. All the south had no power for 6 hours, the capital for 4 hours. :o
I can not remember every detail, but after the short circuit derivative by the cable snap, I think several cut-outs short circuit or something.
