SANTIAGO - Cities across Chile were without power on Sunday and output at some mines disrupted after a main power grid failed a fortnight after a massive earthquake killed hundreds and ravaged infrastructure.

State mining giant Codelco, the world's top copper producer, said the disruption shut its mines in central Chile. But its Codelco Norte division in the northern part of the country was unaffected.

Global miner BHP Billiton's Escondida deposit, the world's largest copper mine, was operating normally and was not affected, a union leader said.


dudes this is going crazy :zombie:
 
Hey man, I hope all is well and you are all getting back to normal over there. I'm currently working on a project on Blackouts so I'm gonna be very interested to see what was behind this one, Thanks for posting this
