Honestly? Probably just copper thieves. Archive: https://archive.today/dH2h8 From the post: >>The Cannes Film Festival was briefly brought to a halt following a major power outage that has struck south-eastern France which police believe was caused by 'sabotage'. About 160,000 households in the Alpes-Maritimes department lost electricity after a high-voltage line fell on Saturday morning, electricity network operator RTE said on X. Disruption was also caused to traffic light systems, train services and retail outlets in the French Riviera city, as the film festival prepared for its glittering closing ceremony tonight where the top prize, the Palme d'Or, will be awarded to the best film. The outage came hours after a fire at an electrical substation in Tanneron, Van, near Cannes overnight had already weakened the grid.
