the power had to be shut off in order to disable the radioactive scanner alarms. they are shipping nukes to bomb Syria.

The cargo plane in question is owned by Cal Cargo Airlines. A Jewish owned company based out of Israel who specializes in the transportation of nonstandard cargo such as, live animals and dangerous goods.

I suppose, if the plane was carrying live cargo, keeping it from reaching its destination might kill the animals; that'd be enough reason to let it go on. I think they would've said by now, though.

Even more suspicious though is that Cal Airlines owns another business known as LACHS.

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.

a fire took out the backup generator at the same time

This part really doesn't make sense, it is extremely unlikely a single generator serves as the backup for the entire airfield.

At the airport I'm most familiar with grid power enters the airport from multiple locations (an FAA requirement for CAT II & III ILS approaches) and there are many many generators co-located with the individual systems/building they power. Each runway has its own switch house with all the circuits and a backup generator, the switch houses are spread around the field miles apart making it all but impossible for a fire to knock out power to the entire field. On top of that there are big trackor trailer sized mobile generators that can be driven out if there is a problem with any of the fixed generators.

Atlanta is the largest airport in the world, I can't believe they are less prepared for electrical failures and fires.
