Power Restored After Manhattan Blackout From Transformer Blast
A transformer explosion at a Lower Manhattan utility plant caused a midafternoon outage that affected about 63,000 customers from Greenwich Village to the lower tip of Manhattan. Crews restored power by early evening as patients and residents navigated dark buildings, with National Guardsmen directing traffic and major roads and subways disrupted. No injuries were reported and officials deem the cause accidental.
