Posted by AlM on Mon Nov 16 12:10:59 2015, in response to Re: Today is fifty years since the big northeast blackout, posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Nov 16 09:43:38 2015. No, it was obvious from his post that he considers “Big Northeast Blackout” to be an accurate description only of the 2003 blackout, and not of the 1965 one, whether or not he is aware of the 1965 one.But that's a pretty silly interpretation. The 1965 blackout was in fact a "big northeast blackout." It wasn't the biggest ever to date, but it was certainly big. Responding: I wasn't talking about the Augst 14, 2003 blackout. I remember that one too. I was talking about the November 9, 1965 backout. Yes, there were blackouts before you were born. to No, it's only been twelve years… and it happened in August. strikes me as quite reasonable. Of course, he could have been more clear by having a headline that said "Today is fifty years since the first big northeast blackout," but perfection is not a requirement on SubChat. |
