UC Berkeley Explosion After Power Failure Explosion at University of California Berkeley at 8:30 p.m. after a power outage at 4:30 p.m. It sent flames two stories high two lanes wide, and sent a manhole cover into the air. It was suspected to be related to theft of copper wire thieves off campus. Campus was evacuated, and one person hospitalized for minor burns. It was a sophisticated attack that stole or sabotaged key parts of their system and classes would be cancelled until safety can be established. 20 students were stranded in elevators in dormitories. An engineer stated "Somebody attacked our system. Somebody stole key parts of our system." No one is asking if terrorism could be a motive.

la times: He said the blast area was two stories high and two roadway lanes wide and sent at least one manhole cover shooting into the air. Ripping the wire out of the system required a lot of force and probably special equipment, Mogulof said. The explosion took place as engineers were attempting to bring power back up.
"Something happened here that surprised the experts," he said. "Somebody attacked our system. Somebody stole key parts of our system."
The campus remained dark Monday night except for the lights of police vehicles patrolling the area and emergency generators providing power for research projects.
Mogulof said classes "aren't going to happen and people aren't going to come back here until we're sure we have a safe situation."
