A snake fried itself on the overhead wire of the Nagano Shinkansen line yesterday, causing a power outage that halted service for about an hour. Here’s a video report on the incident, which includes a close up of the dead snake:

Last week a similar incident happened in my country. A snake, who was known by the technicians and everyone at the energy company, fell into a 10,000kW transformer (of course it died) and caused a 2-hour blackout in Neiva (a city 230 km southwest Bogotá). They initially thought it was a terrorist attack by guerrillas. This is the video (in Spanish; it has no “awesome music” though).

Not really. When you have a News Network in Nippon, the name Nippon News Network is not a stretch. Hence NNN.
