Lessons learned
- Treat a headline that a substation was destroyed as an early alert only, and confirm the site and outcome from a fuller report.
- Until the failed equipment is identified, operators should not assume a particular cause.
- Record what is not yet known, including casualties and customer impact, rather than filling gaps.
