Gigantic traffic jams, stalled railway trains, closed airports and a general failure of infrastructure services have followed in the wake of what is now the largest power failure in history.

While there may not be a strong effect on well protected satellites and power grids in the developed world, there is a greater possibility that grids in the developing world could fail temporarily.
