Monkey knocks out a whole nation's power

"At 1129 hours this morning [Tuesday]," it said, "a monkey climbed on the roof of Gitaru Power Station and dropped onto a transformer tripping it. This caused other machines at the power station to trip on overload resulting in a loss of more than 180MW from this plant which triggered a national power blackout."

A monkey got into a power station and accidentally blew the power for the whole country. This was less a military coup than just sheer monkeying about.
