The blast also caused an electrical outage in the immediate area, but
service was restored to most customers within a few hours.

A few years ago, we lost power when a raccoon committed suicide at a
substation. Does this mean some LA residents are intellectually on par with
raccoons? Maybe they should stick with stealing copper plumbing.

Or bricks. I recall an essay Mike Royko on the stupid crook
competition in Chicago. Seems this collection of bright bulbs were
stealing bricks from a vacant building. "easy money". But they
started on the first floor.... Yep, eventually pulled out one too
many and the building fell on them.
