Script:
A reported power outage disrupted daily life in San Bernardo, Chile, on April 28, 2025, as captured in footage by @JosBernal18. The video shows a bus, pedestrians, and darkened buildings under a clear sky, highlighting the extent of the daytime disruption.

San Bernardo, part of the Santiago Metropolitan Region, has historically faced infrastructure challenges. Reports from 2023 noted that around 15% of the region's outages were linked to aging electrical grids, a likely factor in this incident.

The scene also reflects a broader global trend. Studies in 2024 found that about 60% of major cities experience frequent service interruptions, affecting public transport and daily routines, as seen in the footage with commuters navigating the blackout.
