East Coast Blackout Amid War-Torn Middle East
A massive power failure hit the East Coast from New Jersey to Maryland while bombardment raged in the Middle East. Power was restored in scattered areas after an eight of nine NJ generators failed, with Philadelphia and Newark utilities operating on emergency power and trains, tunnels, and traffic gridlock affected. Meanwhile Israel and Arab neighbors clashed on multiple fronts, each side trading accusations of who started the fighting as gunfire erupted along the Sinai, Jordan, and Syria borders.
