💨 Abstract

A massive power outage in Chile, caused by a transmission line failure, plunged Santiago into darkness, affecting operations at major copper mines and global metal markets. The government declared a state of emergency, deployed armed forces, and established a curfew. Santiago's metro was closed, and key copper mines, including Escondida (world's largest), were without power. No emergency situations have been reported, and authorities are working to restore electricity.
