On May 30, 26 Japanese high-speed trains were canceled due to power outages, causing delays for an estimated 12,000 commuters. JR Kitakyushu engineers say the outage was caused by a 0.7 to 1.1 inch (two to three centimeter) slug which crawled across a power cable in electrical equipment connected to the network. It then fried, taking out part of the electrical grid with it.
