Italy was plunged into darkness after an unprecedented power outage, which caused havoc on public transport nationwide. The rail network was thrown into chaos, with thousands of passengers blocked in around 100 trains. Hospitals switched to emergency generators. Only the island of Sardinia remained unaffected. Electricity was being progressively restored shortly before dawn. This is the latest in a series of major blackouts to affect national power grids - north-east United States and Canada were hit last month, and Denmark and southern Sweden on Tuesday. A power cut left London's underground transport in chaos last month. The Italian national grid authority blamed the blackout on a malfunction of two major supply lines from France.
