Posted by Mitch45 on Tue Nov 17 11:21:38 2015, in response to Today is fifty years since the big northeast blackout, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Nov 9 13:28:14 2015. I was 9 months old and living with my parents and older brother in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx. My mother used to tell me about the '65 blackout. My father, who was 36 then, had finished work for the day and had gone to his night accounting class at CCNY. When the power went out, he couldn't call home because none of the pay phones worked. He ended up waiting a few hours and then walking home from CCNY to our Bronx apartment. My mother was panic stricken as she had two small children, so she ran upstairs to a neighbor. My father came home around 1 am. |
