New York power outages darken the iconic city

There were 50,000 customers without power in New York, most of them in Midtown Manhattan and the Upper West Side, utility company ConEdison said on its website. At its peak, the number was about 73,000, CEO John McAvoy said.

    1. @Christian Radcliffe its just another social media test by the govt to see whos stupid enough to even believe that. Its all part of the fake alien invasion coming

  1. My God! 😳 It’s like the 1977 Blackout (July 13-14). 42 years later, it happens the same event, in the same place, and in the same date. Creepy!

    1. Philly aswell. Come to think of it, the northeast has some newer infrastructure too but it needs to catch up to the cities that came along later.

  2. On the anniversary of the 1977 blackout on this very day?there are no coincidences like that gtfo.

    1. Strange how lit up it till is, generators and car lights of course on ‘time square’! Of course!

    2. J G Get s telescope as they see people were going to be able to see Neptune and Pluto on the side of the moon next to it.👍😂👍

    3. No we rarely see stars or hardly ever in this city! I haven’t really seen stars since 1996 slowly the stars seem to disappear and the evil grew seems like a story but a true one! Sometimes you need the big city lights to go off to realize what really matters! SMDH!😞

  3. How does NYC have a power outage. I get the amount of power they have but that seems a little suspicious 😒

    1. @RealBlessed: I can’t see your reply, you are right, but the substation that failed is above ground on its own block. No excuse to not fix it.

    2. @Utha nice comparison. Venus has what 5 Times the atmospheric pressure has earth. You nubskulls keep comparing Venus because of its composition model is supposed to represent the greenhouse effect but never take that into consideration.
      You know Germany has doubled it’s utility cost chasing renewable. Explain how in 2004 wind was getting 25 Times the gov subsidies per BTU and STILL couldn’t dominate. More feelings over facts when it comes to our energy economy. All this renewable tech has been around since before we were born. Flywheel storage, pumped reservoir. It didn’t work then, it doesn’t work now. You soyflakes destroy everything you touch, because of emotions.

    3. @Aaron Smith right because you don’t have radicals rising in the dem party that will happily do that to garnish votes from people who don’t know any better. Obama got an 80 billion dollar lesson didn’t he. All those wasted taxes in his first term chasing renewable. What did he do on term 2? Open the floodgates for natural gas exploration an permits. Even though he sucked up land in the name of gov preservation so he could get land leases by these energy companies. Another dirty deed CNN will never tell you about.

    4. @cj p Well no, Venus has an atmospheric pressure some 100 times ours at ~93 bar and temperatures that peak around 870F, but of course you Trumptards take everything we say literally and can’t recognize sarcasm when it slaps you in the face, I was hyperbolizing numbnuts.

      The problem with you idiots is that you just want to steam ahead with no consequences and burn every last resource. Just give up now and bugger the future generations. You do know that renewable energy efficiency is improving every year and that costs are coming down, that storage technology is improving all the time? This is because countries that have vision are developing these technologies while Trump and his clown show are sitting on their fat asses doing nothing. If you had ANY brains about you, you’d be investing in these industries, becoming world leaders and creating new job markets for the dying fossil fuel industries.

      At least Democrats are looking at renewables and wanting to invest into these markets, they are looking forward, not back to the 1950s like you morons.

      So while I said Trump would have the planet turning into a Venus-like atmosphere, all you can do is look at the language I chose to express my distaste of the Orange Buffoon you call a President, who is reversing a lot of good work previous administrations had achieved.

      You may call us progressives, but this is far better than regressives.

    1. @Nathan Morgan Why not? Is it a New York the biggest city in US? The power outrage affects a lot of people and businesses…. They just reporting it, right after it happen, that’s all. Tomorrow will probably, mostly be about hurricane in New Orleans which could be very dangerous because of the dangerous amount of water….and the raids of course. That’s called the news!!

    2. Nathan Morgan Lol exactly I’m in Houston even with my ac and fan on it doesn’t get cool upstairs until the sun goes down soo yeah enjoy that 80 something weather it’s not hot

    1. He must’ve been some sick sex offender trying to take advantage of the blackout. I mean they just said where they’re staying at the Sheraton

    2. Eh.. he didn’t even really see her face. Just checking out the pony tail and the backdoor. It’s what humans do.
      (He still a creep tho, the way he sippin on that straw)

    1. @Joe V808•

      Did you mean you were going in the park with your father and you came back with your new mom?

    2. J Lo ….blah, blah, blah…..she still needs to get her attention from the public. She loves me…that’s a lie.

    3. that happened 16 years before I was born so I don’t remember it but I remember the 2003 blackout. I was 9 years old living in Connecticut.

  4. I’m in Brooklyn and this is the first I’m hearing about this. It’s hot in the city! I hate that people have to go without power and AC right now… I hope the hospitals and elderly homes are okay 😖

    1. The Irish Mafia are a powerful organized global crime group and they have a portion of authority over the Aryan Brotherhood. The Irish Mafia have small gangs in every East Coast city and operations in the Mid West and California. Prince Stefano Massimo of Rome is the primary owner and authority over the Irish Mafia and he works closely with Prince Harry who is an owner of the Aryan Brotherhood. Prince Stefano resides in London and his son Prince Tancredi is the primary owner of the Irish Rathkeale crime syndicate which specialize in museum and auction house thefts. Prince Tancredi works at the auction house company Christies. The name Tancredi derives from the name Thank-rath like Rath-keale. The Massimo family have a covert Irish branch known as the Massy family which are Barons of Duntrileague in Limerick Dublin, Ireland with Baron David Harmon Somerset Massy and John Hugh Somerset Massy as the heads of this clan and they work with Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin. The Massy barons are murderous psychotic zealots. The Irish Mafia of Ireland operates in Limerick today and the Massy family are part owners. The Aryan Brotherhood incorporates a clover for its logo which is also an Irish symbol. The Windsors have connections with the Nazis with King Edward VIII visiting Hitler and receiving full Nazi salutes. Prince Philip’s family was also associated with the Nazis during WWII. Prince Harry’s personal coat of arms includes the Irish harp also used on the coat of arms of Ireland. Prince Harry has been given a portion of authority over the Irish Mafia and IRA. Prince Harry publicly dressed up as a Nazi. James Hewitt is from Northern Ireland and had an affair with Princess Diana. Many believe Hewitt is Prince Harry’s real father and they clearly share a close resemblance. The Irish Republican Army or IRA supported the Nazis and attempted to make an alliance with them. The IRA worked with the German Nazi intelligence agency known as Abwehr. Both the Nazis and the IRA are militant fascist groups. The IRA allied with the Palestine Liberation Organization or PLO in an attempt to take over Jerusalem. The PLO is mixed in with Hamas a Nazi influenced group going back to Amin al-Husseini’s alliance with Hitler. Walter Guinness of Dublin was assassinated by Lehi for supporting an Arab controlled Palestine. The IRA and Irish Mafia have been linked together numerous times including with Whitey Bulger. The Irish K&L Gang is connected with the IRA. The IRA have infiltrated the US military and they are terrorists. Ken O’Keefe is agent of the IRA and PLO and a lying Nazi propagandist financed by Irish bankers. Christy Kinahan and Jay O’Connor are high level international Irish mob bosses and are extremely murderous. It’s believed that Christy Kinahan resides in Dubai and is worth over a billion.

      The Irish Mafia in the United States have seniority over the Aryan Brotherhood as the oldest recognized criminal organization. The Irish mob has mostly evolved into white collar crime and still has violent criminals mostly connected with the Aryan Brotherhood. The Bokun family of Hells Kitchen are top Irish mobsters and extremely violent. The remaining Irish mobsters are the strong arm and many members of the Aryan Brotherhood are their street soldiers. The Irish Mafia and their street gangs are the ones behind the deaths of what is called the “Smiley Face Killers” which is an initiation into the Irish Mafia and their organizations. Prince Stefano Massimo is the one commanding these murders. The Irish Earls of Winterton oversee the Winter Hill Gang of Boston, Massachusetts. Howie Winter was a co-founder and second boss of the Winter Hill Gang. The Winter Hill Gang infiltrated the FBI with agent John Connolly who was convicted of racketeering and murder. John Connolly is married to Elizabeth Moore a former FBI employee. The Winter Hill Gang takes its name from Winter Hill in Somerville, Massachusetts which takes its name from Irish settlers that took the name Winter as immigrants from the Galway region governed by the Earls of Winterton. The recently deceased Whitey Bulger was a boss of the Winter Hill Gang and he still had command over the Irish Mafia from prison. They use imprisoned mob bosses to manage their criminal organizations for their attempt at a societal takeover with imprisoned bosses having the incentive of getting out of prison. Whitey Bulger was extremely evil and ruthless. George Hogan seems to be the still acting boss of the Winter Hill Gang which works with Patriarca crime family of Boston which have their billionaire investor James Pallotta as a co-owner of the Boston Celtics. Donald David Turnour, 8th Earl Winterton, Robert Charles Turnour, Murray John Turnour, and Jonathan Winterton Behan Turnour are current members of the Irish Winterton Peerage. Louis Moore Bacon is of Irish nobility and a billionaire investor that owns Moore Capital Management. He is involved in international money laundering and pay offs for the Kinahan crime syndicate and their North American associates. Moore Capital Management was involved in manipulating settlement prices and insider trading. Investments in fake start up companies are ways they make bribes and it just looks like bad investments.

      The Westies Mafia are still active today and headquartered in Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan with the Spillane crime family as their support. They have a money laundering operation in Atlantic City at Harrah’s hotel and casino. John Bokun as an acting boss. John Bokun was caught transporting large amounts of marijuana through his private jet several years ago. Marijuana trafficking does not depict the real nature of John Bokun. He is extremely oppressive and a top enforcer for the Irish Mafia. The name Bokun means to bend. John Bokun’s job is getting members of the secret societies to bend into submission. John Bokun is a serious threat to all American people. He is extremely arrogant, oppressive, and murderous. The Spillane family still own the Mickey Spillane bar in Hells Kitchen with Mickey Spillane Jr as a member and son of the Mickey Spillane Sr the former boss of the Irish Mafia in Hells Kitchen. The Spillanes work with the McManus family and are influential in the democratic party. JP McManus is an Irish billionaire involved in rigging horse races and Like Hell’s Kitchen there are several secret societies in Irish Universities known as the Hell Fire Club which were originally headquartered at Montpelier Hill formerly owned by the Massy family. The Westies are being overseen by the Earls of Westmeath also in Galway with William Anthony Nugent and his son Sean Charles Weston Nugent. The Lyttelton family of Ireland and England are involved with the Westies. They held the titles of Earls of Westcote. The West End Gang is a powerful Irish Mafia in Canada allied with the Westies. The West End Gang works with the Hells Angels and the Rizzuto crime family. The ruthless billionaire John Grayken is from Boston and owns Lone Star Funds which is used for making bribes and financing criminal agendas. Boston is Winter Hill Gang territory. John Grayken moved to Ireland and lives at the former Guinness estate known as Pyrford Court. Pyr means fire similar to the Hell Fire secret society and Hells Kitchen. There is a Hell Fire secret society at the Jesuit Boston College with William Leahy as President. George Carroll is an actor and gangster rapper known as Slaine and he is an associate of the Irish Mafia in Boston. Slaine is a member of the rap group called La Coka Nostra with Irish-American rapper and Irish Mafia associate Daniel O’Connor or Danny Boy from House of Pain. Patrick Baril is a music producer known as Statik Selektah and he is from Lawrence, Massachusetts outside of Boston and is also an associate of the Irish Mafia and he works with Slaine. The Hell Fire Club is also in Hells Kitchen with Megyn Kelly as a member and the Westies as a top authority. Denis O’Brien is an Irish-Maltese billionaire who was Jesuit educated from Boston College and has business deals with the Clintons. The Hells Angels which are owned by the House of Windsor are closely allied with Irish Mafia. Hell Angels have infiltrated the trucking industry and are involved in criminal trafficking. The Irish mafia and their associates are the most torturous, murderous, and terroristic group on the planet. They are completely hellish and destructive.

    2. @Angel thats true but you are used to it. A person thats not used to it can die easier from the shock, not to mention the very young and very old as well as those with compromised health do not fare as well. So ya, give em some slack tough guy/girl, your ego will be just fine im sure. Lol

    3. FateAndFurie When it happened in 2003 it was during the summer also and it was hot as hell. I had to walk home to Astoria from Midtown. At least the shower was working so I can hose off it was scary especially because it was two years after 911 but then it just turned into a big party n everyone was drinking out on the streets

    4. FateAndFurie how hot is it up there I’m down here in Texas where it feels like 103 but it’s actually 93

  5. Nice to know it’s super important if electricity goes out in NYC. Don’t remember this much coverage when Puerto Rico went 4 months without electricity.

    1. This is actually a very very good point, something I didn’t even think about until this comment. It’s too bad Trump isn’t there right now so he can see just a tiny fraction of what those people did and still do deal with in Puerto Rico

    2. Anything to distract from antifa terrorists firebombing, the FBI attempting a soft coup, Obama using intel agencies to go after enemies, the pedophile network, etc. So much real news but this is deep state TV.

    1. Fr it was several times too and he even tried to lean out of the cameras view but still look
