The newsworthy parts of this:

1. It was a monkey and not a squirrel.
2. It took down the entire grid and not just a section of it, because poorly-designed and -maintained grid.

“unplugged nation” is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.

I know it’s America-centric of me but “monkey fucks up entire country” hits different over here
