Lets just hope nothing like this ever comes to light.

^ Happened already without 'crackers' doing anything really: the big blackout some years back around New York.

Having no reserve where needed makes things fall over like dominos.
You can try to 'blame' it somewhere else, but its the maintainers of the infrastructure that are responsable (btw, not much different here in europe although on a somewhat smaller scale).
