context_page_description: The 2019 Java blackout was a power outage that occurred in Java on August 4, 2019 11:50 to August 5, 2019 at 22:00. This power outage went viral on Twitter and other social media.
context_section_description: The blackout began at 11:50 local time, when Jakarta MRT authorities began to detect the loss of electrical supply, rendering its trains inoperable and requiring people stuck inside to evacuate. Jakarta LRT and KRL Commuterline also suffered from the blackout making TransJakarta the only mass transit transportation remaining in operation at the time of the blackout. The governor of Jakarta, Anies Baswedan made TransJakarta and Jakarta MRT services free of charge until the end of the day.
  In the telecommunications sector, the telephone network was also been disrupted. Disrupted networks included Telkomsel, Indosat, XL Axiata, 3, and Smartfren. Gojek and Grab had problems due to the lack of internet services.
  Around 21.3 million people were affected by the power outage. The blackout lasted around 9 hours where at 21:00 local time, power to most of the affected areas has been restored. Power to some rural and residential areas in Jakarta had not been restored past midnight. Some areas initially had electricity backed up by midnight or later, only to have its electricity cut off again.
  Most of the traffic lights of Jakarta stopped functioning.
  At least eight fires occurred on Sunday night and Monday morning in eight different locations due to the power outage. This probably had happened due to the use of candles as lighting during the power outage.
