Sri Lanka’s Power and Energy Ministry on Sunday said they’ve spanked the entire island nation of 22 million’s electrical grid to collapse after a fight between some monkeys on equipment at the Panadura Power Station that tripped some wires there, leading to a cascading outrage, the Daily Mirror reports. Power was restored hours later as plants were brought back online.
“According to the Ministry, a group of monkeys had jumped into the Panadura Power Station yesterday morning and ended up in a scuffle resulting to one monkey hitting the transmission line leading to an immediate imbalance in the power grid,” the Mirror writes, citing the Ministry.
