Description
People in Portugal's capital, Lisbon, react to a massive blackout that hit the Iberian peninsula on Monday, stranding passengers in trains and hundreds of elevators while millions saw phone and internet coverage die. Power was restored overnight to around 6.2 million households in Portugal out of 6.5 million, according to the national electricity grid operator. "It was a real mess," says Jonas Mosca, who works as a carpenter, adding, "There were no traffic lights or anything". IMAGES
