Hydro mishap brings blue line down

An underground explosion in a Hydro-Quebec installation early Thursday afternoon caused a power failure in parts of Rosemont and halted the blue line till after 4.

Via reddit, video of the explosions on Bélanger.

Update: A fire in a generator used to heat an old folks’ home hit by the power outage meant evacuation of the residents to a sports arena in the neighbourhood, where they kept warm practising penalty shots. Well, not the last bit, maybe.
