Blackout Hits Midtown Manhattan For Hours Of Darkness
A transformer failure at a Consolidated Edison power plant plunged blocks of midtown Manhattan into darkness for over four hours on Sunday night. Nine TV stations went off air, observers at the Empire State Building observatories were stranded, traffic halted, and many dinners by candlelight. Initial reports cited an explosion, later blamed on electrical short circuits. Lights began to return after the outage began at 7:12 p.m., with partial grid restoration and continued emergency broadcasts from WXTV. The New York Daily News presses stopped, and editors worked by candlelight to publish once power returned.
