As we filed out of the jetway, I glanced at a departures monitor and was shocked to find not one but two American flights to Kansas City - and the first one was preparing to board...

As power lines shut off, electricity was channeled through an increasingly narrow part of the grid - until those lines automatically tripped off as well, to prevent damage from the unsafe levels of electrical current.
