We get a terrorist attack and the government burys it

Last Year, Snipers Attacked a Power Plant in California - The Wire

A detailed timeline of last April's deliberate attack on a power plant has been reconstructed by The Wall Street Journal, provoking questions about whether the event was a precursor to a much larger operation. At around 1:30 a.m. on April 16, 2013, snipers began shooting out transformers at the Metcalf substation.

During the 19 minutes of shooting, the gunmen knocked out 17 transformers, which then took nearly a month to repair. Prior to that they had cut telephone lines in a nearby underground vault, and according to the timeline, stopped shooting only a minute before police arrived.

The FBI is investigating a ‘military-style’ attack on a California electric power facility earlier this year.
The April 16 attack saw as many as two gunmen storm the PG&E Metcalf substation after severing phone service and fire several dozen rounds at transformers.
Federal officials took over the investigation from local law enforcement on fears it was linked to the Boston marathon bombing only a day earlier, but those fears appear to have subsided.
At least one person, maybe two, went down multiple manholes at the facility in a San Jose suburb and cut fiber cables leading to the substation, according to Foreign Policy, which detailed the well-planned attack.



The terrorists got away and have never been caught.

Possible terrorist attack*

That's pretty clever. Unsophisticated, and simple. Considering it happened in April I'd suspect some white boys were involved or it was fashioned to look like white boys.

Let's hope the terrorist never figure out how vulnerable America is to mayhem.
You take some fertilizer-based explosives...drive it right up to a water tower, and you can take out the water supply to whole towns/regions of cities for months.
At the same time target large power line feeders - and you cripple a town in minutes.
I guess it is a testament to the simple stupidity of terrorist that this hasn't already been done

Does the OP ever think that maybe to advertise is to promote?

Phil Donohue said the same thing about the beltway snipers. NPR assured us that it was republicans who perpetrated the Boston Bombing and Brian Ross identified a Tea Party activist as the Aurora movie shooter.

All I'm saying is that the people that did this kept it simple, and were either white boys or made it look the same. That's because pretty much every bad thing happens in April. Every WACO, Hitlers birthday, MLK, Columbine, OKC etc. All in April. It's not the called the cruelest month for no reason. And it seems to be the month of white boy kill until recently.

Phil and the rest of those punks can suck my ass.

Glad to see security funding is being well spent.

So somewhere in the area, there was no power, no landline telephones, no hardwired alarm signals (which use landlines), and no networking capability.

Sounds more like the precursor to a theft than a terrorist attack.

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

Gives people ideas. You realize how much havoc 1 person can start with taking out power plants? 1 man revolution at least to start...

I think the horse might have bolted on that one. What with the entire city of Boston grinding to a halt and being put under martial law thanks to 2 kids with a pressure cooker and the whole of the area surround the capital having kids run in zig zags and on the way to school and nobody buying gas because of a father and son with a station wagon and a rifle. I think it's pretty common knowledge.

 

[Howey]

I heard about this early last year? Why is it Current Events and why are the tin hats dragging it out again?

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Sounds more like domestic terrorism than anything else. Not Islamic terrorists' MO.

Given the round the clock coverage of the Boston bombing can't really blame the press for not covering this incident - (playing Devil's Advocate) if no one dies it isn't as newsworthy as a bombing involving deaths and limbs being blown off.

There's actually a ton of incidents like this that the national and international press never mention. Security websites though do as local press will cover it, and that information is collected and published by some security-concerned websites like
