An explosion at a Consolidated Edison substation sparked a 44 hour blackout across Manhattan from Times Square to Wall Street. 52,000 customers lost power, 300 people rescued from 34 elevators, and thousands stranded as stock markets closed early. Traffic signals failed and emergency crews worked to restore power. Mayor Koch kept a state of emergency until congestion eased and lights stabilized.
