Andy's Almanac - November 9 |
|
|
Posted by andy on Sun Nov 10 00:21:56 2019 1965: At about 5:20 PM on a moonlit, clear evening, electric power failed all over the Northeastern United States, including NYC and its surrounding suburbs. The entire NYC subway system, the Long Island RR, and the NY Central and New Haven RRs (today;s Metro-North) grind to a half. Thousands of subway and rail passengers were stranded in dark trains and tunnels, and all must be walked to emergency exits in order to safely reach the street level. Amazingly, there are no injuries as the NYCTA and railroad personnel, plus thousands of police and fire personnel, work to rescue the stranded riders. |
