[Leica] OT: Plane Crash

[red735i at earthlink.net (Frank Filippone)]

Tesla is trying to find a spot ( or 2... Long Beach or Downey or both) to
build their cars..... The power train ( batteries?  Motors and control
systems?) are designed and manufactured "up there" in Palo Alto.  Thus the
presence of the Tesla guys.....

The plane crashed about a mile from my house. However, the plane crash cut
off electricity to the entire city of Palo Alto for about 10 hours. My UPS
ran out of battery after about 5 hours and then the LUG was off the air.

Here's the official notice from the city utilities department:

Here's a BBC report on it:

Here's the San Francisco Chronicle news report on it all:
