Manhattan Blackout Halts Trading Traps Thousands in Elevators
A New York blackout hit lower Manhattan with power outages across about 50 blocks after a fire at a Seaport substation. The outage halted trading at major markets until evening while thousands fled skyscrapers as elevators failed. Many workers walked home across the Brooklyn Bridge or downstairs from the World Trade Center towers. Power was largely restored by night, but investigations continued and safety crews treated several for smoke inhalation and exhaustion.
