On Monday, the air conditioning was out at "most of the terminals" at LAX.
Here's the catch: it was all because of a squirrel! This squirrel carried a high voltage current on some line leading into LAX. It caused a 10-second outage that made the A/C go out. The A/C was out well over 3 hours-on a day when the outside temperature was pushing 90.
My favorite line from the article:

The squirrel's condition was not immediately available.

UPDATE:
The squirrel is fine. He confessed later that he was just trying to roast his nuts.

Sometimes, the crime is worth the punishment...and in this case it will be - great picture! See you after the ban.
