This story is also OLD. If it was terrorism why hasn't it been repeated? My guess would be some rowdy kids or drunk adult.
This was not a mere shoot'em up. How did they get into the underground vault?
Some shit was shot up. End of story. Unless of course you want to make money. Who in this situation is trying to profit?An attack on our infrastructure that, if the article is to be believed, was planned and well executed.
You should have heard the breathless reporting of a missing dog on the local news yesterday. Gripping stuff! I don't understand why it didn't go national!

Did you hear about this before I posted it? How much else may we not know. Maybe, as the article stated, this was a dry run for something bigger. I really, really have a hard time believing that two drunks with AK47 (guessing) shot up 14(?) transformers over a period of time. Plus they cut the fiber optics.
Maybe this was a test of response time.
Just discussing.

Reductio ad absurdum
Yep, some Second Amendment assholes proving their right to shoot up whatever they desire.

You probably think "vault" means something with a giant four foot thick door with a timed combination lock that requires two people turning keys at the same time to open, right?
It is more likely accessible through a manhole.

To be honest, I would rather this NOT be on national news.
If it is on the national news - it is broadcasted worldwide.
You take water treatment facilities of small-medium sized towns. There is no backup.
A small bomb could take out the water supply for weeks, or even months. Everything would shut down.
I find the repeated statement in the newspaper article that it was not an act of terrorism disingenuous. The spokesperson doth protest too much.
Interesting too how the perps knew exactly where each vulnerable part of the security system was.
Ohhhhh, they knew where the vulnerable part of the security system was? Then how was the attack captured on security video?
These substations are everywhere. There is one less than a mile from my house. You probably drive by one or two of them every day. You fools are making it sound like it was a real act of brilliant tactical planning to shoot one up. These things are nothing but a bank of transformers inside a chain link fence. A 7-Eleven would be more of a challenge.
"Sophisticated" attack, my ass.
I don't know of any sub-stations around my area that has any security let alone cameras. This was much more then just a sub-station. Granted it is a relatively easy target but apparently there was security that sub stations don't usually get. Which raises the question of whom was watching the cameras. Could be they were not security but for remote monitoring.
No comments? Not even an opinion on what is going on?

This would be an excellent way for SECURITY CORPORATIONS to be pump up their bottom lines.
Just a thought, not an accuasation.
