About this episode
In this episode of The Show with Xander, I recount the chaotic Monday when a mysterious phenomenon knocked out power and telecommunications across parts of Europe.
It started as a normal day waiting for a UPS delivery, but by noon, the electricity was gone. By 2 PM, cell towers failed, leaving the city in a total blackout and digital silence. I share the surreal experience of watching the city scramble without power, the eerie feeling of being completely disconnected, and the relief when the lights finally came back on.
In this episode:
The frustration of blocked credit cards and missed deliveries.
Watching the "exodus" from the CBD as public transport faltered.
The reality of a cashless, electric-dependent world shutting down.
How a strange environmental phenomenon affected millions across the EU.
