I was in Santiago when this happened. While working in the basement of my hostel, all the power went out, and it was pitch black. I didn't really think much of it at the time because there had been several minutes-long outages before in various places in Santiago/Chile. When I got upstairs, I noticed that I had no cellular coverage, nor did anyone else, which is when I realized that this one was different. Took about 7hrs to get the power back on in my part of town.

It's very interesting when there is ZERO internet or any other form of external communication. In hind-sight I'd say it was an interesting short simulation for the zombie apocalypse.
