A manhole fire caused extensive power outages across Manhattan’s West Side early Saturday evening, plunging subway stations, Broadway theaters and department stores in the heart of the Big Apple into darkness on the 42nd anniversary — nearly to the hour–of the 1977 blackout...MTA Subway service is bypassing stations w/o power and encouraging folks to use local bus service instead of below-ground subway service.
The blackout hit just before 7 p.m. as the temperature hovered around 86 degrees, crippling a broad stretch of Manhattan west of 5th Avenue, from W. 42nd Street to W. 72nd, Con Edison’s outage map shows.
