“unplugged nation” is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.

The newsworthy parts of this:
- It was a monkey and not a squirrel.
- It took down the entire grid and not just a section of it, because poorly-designed and -maintained grid.

The monkey was clearly a highly trained intelligence operative
