A major power outage essentially shut down parts of CES in Las Vegas today Wednesday. Lights went out in the Las Vegas Convention Center in the late morning, leaving the booths of major companies like Samsung, LG and Huawei in darkness.
The Consumer Electronics Association, host of CES, acknowledged the outage on Twitter, calling it an isolated event.
However, some Twitter users reported that the outage was widespread, and that attendees of the show were asked to evacuate.
Photos from inside the convention center showed usually glitz booths pitch-black, and attendees resorting to their phone cameras to check out electronics.
Others made light of the situation with jokes about the irony of an electronics show without power, quickly resulting in #CESblackout trending on Twitter.
I'll be following up with whats happening there with more posts as I'm streaming live on YouTube.
