世界最大的机场居然停电了十几个小时……

有时候真的觉得美国人不靠谱，机场停电的事在第三世界国家都没听说过。

The outage, which affected all airport operations, started with a fire in a Georgia Power underground electrical facility, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said. The electrical fire’s intensity damaged two substations serving the airport, including the airport’s “redundant system” that should have provided backup power, Reed said.

电路起火造成整个机场供电中断，所有航班瞬间停止，所有乘客困在一篇黑暗中的原地。

备用发电机呢？安检设备及CCTV系统供电难道也中断了？

从physical security专业角度而言，亚特兰大机场security不及格，犯了physical security领域最低级的错误。平时难道不做physical security audit的吗？

达美航空因此取消了300多架当日航班。

据CNN美国时间18日报道，起火原因还未查明。
