💨 Abstract

A massive power outage struck Spain and Portugal on Monday, causing widespread disruptions including traffic gridlock, flight cancellations, elevator entrapments, and hospital suspensions of routine work. The cause is unknown, and officials initially suspected a cyber attack. Power began to return in some areas, but restoration is slow. Hospitals continued to treat critical patients using backup generators. Oil refineries and businesses closed, and some ATMs stopped functioning.
