Video Description
Millions of people in the Iberian Peninsula were stranded at airports, train stations and streets for hours following a major electrical power cut across the region. The blackout has cost Spain and Portugal hundreds of millions of euros as businesses were forced to close, including restaurants and shops. The power has since returned but how can such a disaster be prevented in the future and what are the risks for other countries in Europe?
