April 16, 2013 started as any other
day in San Jose. It was a warm spring Tuesday and the people carried on as they
always have making a living and talking about the weather, until approximately
1:00 AM.
At that time the sub-station was
attacked by a group of armed people. For nineteen minutes the quiet night was
shattered with gunfire. Hundreds of rounds were fired but no one heard them
because the sub-station was not guarded. There was no security anywhere close.
After the gunfire there were seventeen transformers damaged to the point they
could not function.
Luckily, miles away, someone on
duty at a power company site noticed the sub-station was dropping voltage. He
was able to re-route the grid to cover the loss. But what would have happened
if he had missed the voltage drop. A large portion of San Jose and surrounding
areas would be blanketed in darkness.
The people that carried out this
attack have been called vandals by our government. They say it was not a
terrorist attack, just some kids doing what bored kids do. Let’s analyze the
attack:
The rounds used were 7.62x39mm. The
same rounds used in an AK47 rifle. There were hundreds of brass casings lying
in a number of places indicating that there were multiple shooters. The brass
was polished with no fingerprints on any of them indicating the shooters had
put considerable thought into the attack. There were small piles of rocks at
each shooting site indicating that the shooters would have planned their sites
carefully for maximum damage and accuracy. Vandalism? Egging a house is
vandalism, TPing a tree is vandalism, spur of the moment acts that are done by
teenagers looking for a thrill. CSI’s will tell you that when a crime is
committed there is always something left to tie individuals to that crime. In
the case of the sub-station shooting there was nothing, absolutely nothing..
And yet, the government still says it was vandalism.
This was a small attack using what
is considered small arms. In my opinion, it was a dress rehearsal for a larger
prize. What if they use .50 caliber rifles the next time, and target a nuclear
facility. .50 caliber sniper rifles are accurate, with a knowledgeable shooter,
out to 1500 yards and possibly more. That is close to a mile.
There is nothing a .50 caliber
bullet will not damage including a Sherman tank. Given the time they had and
the rounds expended with no trace of the shooters, these were terrorists,
either foreign or homegrown and if they hit a nuclear facility, God help the
people in close proximity.
It’s too bad this administration is
more interested in raising money for the next election and pushing Obamacare
than protecting the citizens and infrastructure of this great country from what
it calls vandalism.
