TRENTON, New Jersey: New Jersey officials have said that a power outage in a local community on 12th August was caused by a fish that was dropped by a bird and landed on a transformer. "Jersey Central Power and Light Company workers working on the outage that cut power to a large area of Lower Sayreville found a fish on the transformer in the New Jersey community southwest of New York's Staten Island," Sayreville police said. "We are guessing a bird dropped it as it flew over," police said on their Facebook page.
