I know it's not the point of the post but imagine how solidly freaked out everyone must have been about that power outtage back in 65🤣 must have thought the world ended!
I read a book called "Thr Psychology Of Money" and in that book the author also talks about how stuff correlates with events that happened and how those events caused other events to happen (mostly financial of-course but some stuff you'd never think to have a big impact might lead to having catastrophic consequences!) Something small can cause a tsunami if given enough time!
(All unrelated to what you're talking about but what I'm getting to is that something that happened years ago and might already be forgotten can still have huge impacts on what is happening today)
People often overlook that!
