01:21He just took a bath again.
01:23It was very hot outside.
01:25It was very windy up there.
01:28That's why it was dark.

02:07it's inevitable.
02:09Our cables are tripping.
02:11It's possible because everyone is using more appliances

02:21Those that are not included in the load,
02:23those with jumpers,
