Brussels - Black out at opening day of Car Fair

BRUSSELS – On the opening day of the Salon of the Car, a huge fair taking place every year to promote cars, a black out disrupted a bit the commercial festivities. The black out of the electricity plunged not only the whole fair in dark, but also all the other buildings on the Heizel (of which the Atomium monument, the big cinema complex, several commercial centres, etc.) for more than a hour. The origin of the black out is a an “incident in a electricity cabin” nearby, some newspapers spoke of a fire.
