RACOON SABOTEUR

At 2.10am on 28 July, a racoon wandered into a power station in the Berlin suburb of Siemensstadt, causing a short-circuit in an 110,000-volt transformer and an explosion heard up to four miles away that woke up thousands of Berliners. A turbine ground to a halt, causing a loud droning nose for 35 minutes. The racoon was unscathed. Times, 29 July 2017.
