Posted by JayZeeBMT on Wed Nov 11 10:43:53 2015, in response to Re: Today is fifty years since the big northeast blackout, posted by Far Rockaway A Train on Wed Nov 11 10:24:10 2015. That's because the Rockaways got their electricity from LILCO, not Con Ed in those days, and so were unaffected. LILCO disconnected itself from the grid to avoid being dragged down by the cascade failure which knocked out a goodly portion of the NYC area. |
