Just found at Richard Barrow.

Major power outage at BTS and Suvarnabhumi (Bangkok Airport).

Anyone confirm/experienced?

Seems fixed now.

Why are there no reply's? You guys all out of power now?

Did the lights of the landingstrips also go off? That's pretty dangerous i would think. Don't they have generators as a backup on the airport?

Thinking about it this could be a perfect chance to go through customs illegally. Just pay the electricians to turn off the power.

Very few details to be found in English.

An article in Thai says that about 1000 passengers on the BTS/rail link were stuck for about half and hour.

The airport (building?) was completely dark for 10 sec until emergeny backup started.

No flight delayus.

The cause is under investigation

Well 10 seconds is not that much to be a problem.

But 30 minutes for the skytrain worry's me more. I'll take a taxi.

If the skytrain runs out of power above the roads in full sun (no more aircon) then what we're gonna do? Walk over the tracks?

Well 10 seconds is not that much to be a problem.

The 10 seconds were just for the emergency backup to start.

10 seconds in the complete dark (except maybe some battery emergency exit lights or so).

9 minutes until normal supply came back.

Not dramatic compared to the outage where the complete flight control went down (some years? ago).
