AKIQPilot Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-power-outage-manhattan Manhattan transformer fire knocks out power to thousands in Midtown, Upper West Side A transformer fire caused a large-scale power outage in parts of New York City Saturday evening, knocking out traffic lights, stalling elevators and limiting subway service. As of 9 p.m. Saturday, Con Edison reported that more than 45,000 customers were without power in an area that included Midtown Manhattan and the Upper West Side. The New York Fire Department said the outages impacted an area from 71st Street south to 42nd Street and east from the West Side Highway to 5th Avenue.The Metropolitan Transportation Authority tweeted Saturday evening that signals on the A, B, C, D, E, F, and M subway lines were affected and four stations were closed to the public due to lack of power: 59th St-Columbus Circle, 47-50th Sts-Rockefeller Ctr, 34th St-Hudson Yards, and 5th Av/53rd St. Some service had been restored in Queens. The agency added that service was limited on the Seventh Avenue and Lexington Avenue lines as well as the 7 line between Manhattan and Queens. "However, *our entire system is affected* by the Con Edison outage," the agency tweeted shortly after 9 p.m. "In Manhattan, the bus is your best bet." New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson tweeted that Con Edison had reported a "major disturbance" at a substation on West 49th Street. The New York City Fire Department said the fire started at West 64th Street and West End Avenue but did not say if that was the source of the outage. ConEd spokesman Sidney Alvarez told Fox News that the utility experienced an "equipment failure at one of its substations, but wasn't sure of the specific location. Straphangers tweeted photos of blacked-out train stations and non-working traffic lights. Social media was full of reports of ordinary citizens directing traffic at some Midtown intersections. Police officers were directing traffic at other major thoroughfares. The New York Fire Department said it received reports of people stuck in elevators on the Upper West Side and subway passengers stuck on trains The outage occurred just before 7 p.m. Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city's emergency management agency was working with police and fire personnel to respond to impacted areas in a tweet from Iowa, where he was campaigning earlier Saturday for the 2020 Democratic nomination. Multiple Broadway shows were canceled as some theaters lost power, according to Playbill. Castmembers from "Come From Away" and "Hadestown" put on an impromptu performance outside a venue, according to social media posts. Saturday marked the 42nd anniversary of the 1977 blackout, which affected much of the city for 48 hours and resulted in widespread looting, arson and other criminal activities.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted July 14, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted July 14, 2019 People don’t want to know the true cost to maintain their electricity service if they want it to be reliable. This is what we in the field like to call fall down maintenance. Pays outstanding to neglect the grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
