Narrative:
The captain called me approximately 1 hour into the flight and said we had lost power to the APU and 1 generator. He said we would be diverting to las and be landing in 20 mins. He said it would be a normal landing and not to prepare for an emergency landing. The flight crew secured the cabin and we prepared for a normal landing with our emergency training 'standing by.' we landed without incident.
