So to sum this up so far. An unprecedented power outage occurs at the busiest airport in the world. Despite the airport having backup generators for just this occasion that mysteriously somehow went out at the same time. Minutes before the blackout, a cargo plane from Mexico City arrives at the airport. Due to a special customs arrangement, it is not boarded by security or customs officials. Then approximately 5 hours later, despite all flight having been ordered grounded by both the cities mayor and the FAA, the flight leaves for its next destination.
My guess is that there must have been some "unconventional" equipment on-board that caused some kind of electromagnetic resonance in the primary and backup generator motors.
Intentionally cutting power for 11 hours would attract a huge amount of unwanted attention. In my estimation, the did not expect there to be this kind of interaction.
If any of this is true, then sending the plane away again may have been the only way for them to restore power.
