Major
power outage cripples
Manhattan
RT,
13 July, 2019
Parts of Manhattan have suffered a widespread blackout, which affected traffic lights, subway stations, businesses and tourist attractions all across Midtown and Upper West Side.
Over 30,000 households and businesses have been left without power in New York, according to utility company Con Edison which continues to respond to “extensive outages” from 5th Avenue to the Hudson River, and from the West 40s to 72nd Street.
ConEdison now showing new power outages down to 34th st, which is close to where Madison Square Garden is
When the city suddenly went dark many people were trapped inside stuck elevators across the city’s high-rises, with firefighters struggling to rescue all of them more than an hour after the incident.
The iconic giant monitors at the Times Square also went pitch black.
The cause of the power cuts has yet to be determined but some reports suggested a transformer fire and explosion could have caused the blackout as several witnesses heard a loud bang before the area went dark.
#BREAKING: Blackout reported in many areas of Manhattan, New York. Subway stations and may high rise buildings are running on emergency backup power. Reports of an explosion are also coming in. Updates to follow. #newyork #blackout #poweroutage
there is a random man directing traffic since we are sans traffic lights #nycpoweroutage #nycpower #poweroutage
FYI today is the 42nd anniversary of a New York City wise blackout and Times Square currently looks like this twitter.com/nydailynews/st…#nycpoweroutage #NYCblackout
I happen to live 50 feet downtown from the dividing line between power and no power. Starting out looking downtown and east — NYT building -> 42nd St -> the blackout FKA Times Square
For what it's worth this is what Hal Turner is saying:
Electric power has blacked-out on Manhattan's upper west side, and five-hundred-megawatts of energy just STOPPED. Numerous reports of no lights or air conditioning in the area of Lincoln Center (67th & Broadway) and farther north. UPDATED: This was NO ACCIDENT!
The full scope of the blackout is not yet known, but New Yorkers are NOT happy given the temperature in the city right now remains in the upper 80's. Those tenement buildings will heat up very fast.
And with all the "diversity" living there, the smell will get raunchy fast, too.
UPDATE 7:21 PM EDT --
30 Rockefeller Plaza just has a power SURGE.
Radio City Music Hall has no electricity either.
The AMC Movie Theaters at Lincoln Square forced all movie-goers to evacuate.
Emergency lighting is activated inside the 59th Street subway station:
Con Edison is reporting an outage for 19,739 CUSTOMERS in Manhattan. Bear in mind that a "customer" is not a one family home; it could be a fifty story apartment building with five hundred families.
Now, a map from ConEd showing most (not all) of the outage)
Mass Transit riders exiting the trains at 66th St report no lighting AT ALL in that subway station. "People using cell phone flashlights to get out."
