"unplugged nation" is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.
The newsworthy parts of this:It was a monkey and not a squirrel.It took down the entire grid and not just a section of it, because poorly-designed and -maintained grid.
Oh-ay, hay-ya, oh-ay, hay-ya
