Ohio blackout timeline shows lines carrying excess power before outage
In the hours before the nation's worst blackout, transmission lines in Ohio ran well above emergency standards before automatic shutdowns. AEP and FirstEnergy own or co own the lines and released a timeline without blaming a single cause. Control systems tripped lines to prevent burnout as the eight state blackout began August 14.

Israel vows to kill more top militants in West Bank raid
In a Friday clash at a West Bank hospital Israeli troops killed a Palestinian militant and wounded two others. Israel says it will target Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders unless Palestinian authorities crack down. In Gaza tens of thousands mourned a militant leader killed by a Israeli missile strike. The security Cabinet approved a policy to kill leaders, citing Hamas violence and the Munich attack as historical justification. A hospital roof clash in Nablus left Khaled Namrouti dead and two comrades wounded, with Namrouti linked to the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade.
