An explosion in an electrical substation in Penonome shut down Panama’s metro line, caused traffic chaos, trapped people in elevators and left homes and businesses without power for three and a half hours, on Tuesday.
The outage began at noon and the state power company Etesa reported that 100 percent of the electrical load in the country had been restored at 3:30 p.m. after affecting several provinces.
