Million in the dark as western power blackout hits El Paso area
A regional blackout left about one million people without electricity from Fabens Texas to Deming New Mexico for over an hour. Authorities traced the outage to a failed gas regulator at El Paso Newman Plant, with restoration after switching regulators. Military aid offered. Swidler notes distinct failure. Big military bases and the El Paso Juarez metro area endured the disruption with police reporting only minor looting attempts and few injuries.
