A major electricity outage left tens of millions
of people in Brazil's two biggest cities without power on Tuesday
night due to problems with the transmission lines that connect
to the massive Itaipu dam.
The blackout affected Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, as well
as cities in at least four other states, hitting the industrialized
southeastern part of Latin America's largest country especially
hard.
All of Paraguay, which gets most of its energy from the dam,
was also briefly left in the dark.
Three hours after the blackout, power was beginning to be restored
in some parts of Sao Paulo, Brazil's financial capital and South
America's largest city. But much of the sprawling metropolis
remained in the dark.
