    Default New York City Power Outage



    New York power outage knocks out subways, businesses, elevators

    July 13 at 8:32 PM

    NEW YORK — Authorities say a transformer fire caused a power outage in Manhattan and left businesses without electricity, elevators stuck and subway cars stalled.

    The New York Fire Department said the fire started at West 64th Street and West End Avenue and affected at least 38,000 customers as of 8 p.m. Saturday.

    Power reportedly went out early Saturday evening at much of Rockefeller Center and reached the Upper West Side.

    A diner on Broadway at West 69th Street lost its lights, as did other surrounding businesses.

    The Metropolitan Transportation Authority tweeted that there were outages at various underground stations. The MTA is working with Con Edison to determine the cause.

    Con Edison did not immediately respond to phone messages, and it was not clear how far the outages reached.

    The outage comes on the anniversary of the 1977 New York City outage that left most of the city without power. "

    Ironically, a few days ago there was a power station fire near Moscow, Russia.

    The '77 blackout, 42 years ago to the day, gave criminals the excuse for violence and looting.

    I imagine there are a lot of excited people in NYC right now. I would be a little excited too if I was stuck in NYC, in the dark and unarmed.

    At least they did not stay out for a long period of time. I went to the live cam and all the cameras were down at the intersections of Times Square.
    But 2 hours later when I went back, the cameras were back up and people were walking around like nothing had happened. LOL

    Sabotage ??


    Con Ed can’t explain what caused the Manhattan blackout




    July 14, 2019

    " Con Edison has yet to figure out why a large swath of Manhattan’s West Side was plunged into darkness by the blackout that lasted more than five hours on Saturday night.

    In a statement released late Sunday morning, the power company said it “will be conducting a diligent and vigorous investigation to determine the root cause of the incident.”

    “Over the next several days and weeks, our engineers and planners will carefully examine the data and equipment performance relating to this event, and will share our findings with regulators and the public,” the company said.

    Con Ed spokesman Alfonso Quiroz blamed the blackout on a “disruption on the transmission side” of the company’s power grid.

    Con Ed’s overhead transmission lines carry 438,000 volts of electricity to substations where the power is lowered to about 13,000 volts before being distributed to homes and businesses, he said.

    Officials initially suspected a manhole fire that affected an underground transformer, but Quiroz said there’s “no evidence of a fire at this point.”

    The blackout stranded people on subway trains and elevators, and forced the evacuation of Madison Square Garden and cancellation of Broadway shows.

    It struck on the 42nd anniversary of a massive power outage in 1977 that affected the entire city and sparked looting, robberies and other mayhem.

    Saturday night’s incident also occurred while Mayor Bill de Blasio was campaigning in Waterloo, Iowa, as part of his long-shot presidential bid.

    Con Ed has said a serious of outages that began before 7 p.m. Saturday cut power to 73,000 customers served by six electrical networks on Manhattan’s West Side.

    The affected area stretched from West 30th Street to West 72nd street, and from the Hudson River to Fifth Avenue. "
