There was the strange NYC 2019 power failure in Midtown Manhattan during the height of the Epstein stuff. A lot of strangeness surrounding that incident - some people think it had something to do with exfiltrating something from Epstein's house, which was in the blackout area.
I was there when it happened. It was a Saturday afternoon. Had walked from Penn Station to roughly 10th and 42nd, and noticed power was out above 42nd (initially).
I went to New Jersey because I didn't want to be in Manhattan in case it got a bit too 1973.
(There wasn't really any looting or unusual crime as far as I heard).
Port Authority Bus Terminal was running on generators, and the fire alarm was going off, although fire alarms in there was such a common occurrence that no one cared. Someone explained later that there had been smoke in a power vault in the PABT that set the alarm off. The official story was that a malfunction occurred at a substation around 57th Street on the west side, first taking Manhattan between about 42nd and 96th, as well as a piece of Queens down. Power went out below 42nd some time later. Grid layout was weird - there are pictures of half of Times Square being out.
Sorry for the shitty ABC link. First picture caption is inaccurate - power is out on one side of Broadway:

Thank you, I'll look into it.

Thank you!!! Gonna check the links right now...
I can't imagine how muggy the subways are in the city these days.
Ugh nasty been there in August it’s bad takes the life right out of you.
Yup, I read the 2 links and it was a partial blackout. More than likely an op for something Epstein.
