Of course they did but you have to consider the context of the dscussion. His statement referred to phones using electricity supplied by Con Ed which was affected by the blackout. The electricity the phones used were not supplied by Con Ed and were unaffected directly from the blackout.Someone then pointed out that pay phones were not operating and it was also pointed out that the system was overloaded causing phones to appear not to be working when you just had to wait longer than usual for a dial tone. So his statement that pay phones were not working because they use electricity which was interrupted by the blackout was incorrect. |
