The eight-seat Cessna Citation 550 plane lost all electrical power, including communications, and the pilot had to fly the plane manually, according to spokeswoman Melissa Wagoner. No one was hurt.

Because flying a plane manually is so extraordinary?
 
The report is all wrong!! They didnt lose the electrical system, they lost the Bloody Mary mix and had to declare an emergency!!
 
Heard some talking head on TV going through the "no communication/no transponder" checklist until someone mentioned that they could have just called FSS on the phone.
