Memes Flood Twitter After Massive Blackout in Pakistan, Energy Restored in Major Cities After Hours

2021 01 09T201515Z 1518155863 RC2K4L9DQMNK RTRMADP 3 PAKISTAN BLACKOUT

Pakistan experienced a massive blackout in the later hours on Saturday. The reason behind the blackout was a plunge in the frequency of the power transmission system. Pakistanis took it to Twitter their commentary on the matter.

Blackouts occur in Pakistan once in a blue moon because of chronic power shortages. More often, many areas suffer greatly due to power cuts for several hours a day. Previously, a blackout of the same nature occurred in major cities of the country as a power plant in south-western Balochistan province developed a technical fault in 2013.

Pakistan’s power minister, Omar Ayub Khan, wrote on Twitter in the early hours of Sunday, “A countrywide blackout has been caused by a sudden plunge in the frequency in the power transmission system.”

Twitter was flooded with memes within an hour or two. Check out few tweets that did numbers on the app last night:

karachiites didn’t even know there’s a nation wide blackout they thought it’s another regular saturday

— Hasnat (@SeaweeedBrain_) January 9, 2021

being pakistani is just feeling grateful the blackout didn't happen in summer

Some people assumed someone is trying to restart the county, which we obviously very desperately require.

Not to forget, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, and many people are on life support fighting for their lives.

all jokes aside, seriously hope that power restores before hospitals and healthcare facilities take the hit.
