Vehicles ply the '23 de Maio' expressway, linking the north and south areas of the metropolis during a massive blackout, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, early on November 11. A massive blackout across half of Brazil last week was caused by a short-circuit during bad weather, the energy ministry insisted on Monday despite persistent doubts over its explanation.
