WORKER ERROR KILLS POWER TO HALF OF L.A.
About 700,000 electric customers in Los Angeles lost power Monday afternoon after a worker mistakenly cut a wrong line, triggering a cascade of problems in the city's power grid, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power said.

If I am his boss, I send him home to think about his job situation and considering his options. After that, I bring him back and fire him for killing power to half the city. Jobs like that require severe attention to detail, more so than allot of jobs. He should have taken his time and paid more attention to what he was doing. I would be surprised if he ever worked in that field again. This is going to follow him where ever he goes.
