That wasn't tree falling in Ohio, that was overloaded line sagged and shorted into a tree, compounded with several other factors that contributed to the grid instability and the inability of the grid operator to realize how unstable the grid was.

The tree had malicious intent. You can't convince me otherwise.

There was also a race condition in some management software that hadn’t tripped in over thirty years of usage.
