As a veteran of college choir tours, Iâd put this down more to âbored musicians decide to entertain themselves and othersâ than anything specific to California. And good for them! We would sing at the drop of a hat. The drop of a power pole is just asking for it.

I think some misread the first part of the title as âpower outrageâ.

I like that one. If you need an atomic engineer, with some clue in seismology/geology, give me a call.

This was more than just a minor power outage. It was a colossal clusterfudge on the part of the construction company doing work near the freeway.
Oh, and there was a Giants game, too. Perfect.

Thatâs a synonym for frontage road, right? So this happened in Burlingame, not SF, But at a major choke point on the peninsula South of the SF airport. Go ahead and take a look on Google earth and tell me what you think that might have done to traffic.
Also, whatâs wrong with a band?

If you took out some of the big outliers that were mentioned (in the same way as you might want to ignore 9/11 when talking about terrorist acts, as it single-handedly skews the data out of all proportion), it would look a lot more one-sided. You just canât make statistics from single events like this - try using the whole EU population rather than individual EU countries with populations the size of some cities. On the other hand, the data seems to ignore a number of events without explanation (the attacks in Norway claimed 77 lives, not 67; the Swiss data ignores two shootings in 2013, and there was another one this May (which would not be inside the time range); mass shootings in Mexico are often associated with cartels, and arenât counted).
