The world's worst power cuts
A massive power failure hit India for the second day Tuesday, blacking out more than half the country in an unprecedented outage affecting more than 600 million people.
Here is a list of the worst power cuts around the world in recent history:
ASIA
INDIA - January 2, 2001: More than 200 million people in northern India are left without power after a power station in the state of Uttar Pradesh breaks down.
July 30, 2012: A massive power cut blacks out northern India, leaving more than 300 million people without power, after the entire northern grid collapses. On Tuesday a massive power failure hits India for the second day as three national grids collapse, blacking out more than half the country.
LATIN AMERICA
BRAZIL - March 11, 1999: Some 75 to 90 million people are deprived of electricity in the south of Brazil for from two to four hours.
CHILE - March 14, 2010: More than half of the country, including the capital Santiago, are left in the dark for several hours after a power cut blamed on damage from the deadly earthquake of February 27.
NORTH AMERICA
UNITED STATES - November 9, 1965: A blackout plunges 30 million people in seven northeastern US states and part of Canada into darkness after a sharp upsurge in output overburdens a power relay station near the Canadian border.
August 14, 2003 : New York, much of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada are hit by the biggest power blackout in US history, apparently due to a break in a circuit in a power unit in Cleveland, Ohio.
EUROPE
GERMANY-FRANCE - November 4, 2006: A sudden surge in Germany's demand for electricity due to freezing weather plunges much of Europe into blackness as France and other power-exporting countries find their grids overtapped.
AFRICA
NIGERIA - June 2001: Some 50 million Nigerians are left without electricity for several days after a giant electricity pylon collapses.
ZAMBIA - December 28, 2005: The country is deprived of electricity for several hours after heavy rains. On June 18, 2010, most of Zambia and parts of Zimbabwe suffer a massive blackout for about 10 hours as a fault cripples the hydro-electric dam that supplies most of the countries' power.
