Nope. As underscoreJim says the grid can't be taken down deliberately, but it can fail spontaneously...

Don't forget that "bird" that took out the power at the airport (which airport...I don't recall) a few weeks ago. They never did find a dead bird to verify the claim.

But *they're* SURE it was a bird.....

Burbank's power grid died last year due to a metallic balloon hitting a substation.....the whole city! NBC and Disney Channel and other live feeds went to emergency generators.

Now, if you had a bunch of that balloon material, and shot it out those air cannons they used to shoot toys at basketball games, no telling what you could accomplish
