Power to the People
"NEW YORK (CNN) -- Power slowly flickered on across the northeastern United States and parts of southern Canada after the mysterious massive outage cut electricity Thursday afternoon from New York north to Toronto and west to Detroit -- an area home to some 50 million people.
Times Square, for many the glittering symbol of New York under normal circumstances, sprang back to life about 7:45 a.m. EDT."
There have been conflicting reports as to the actual cause of the blackout, though some say it was a lighting strike in Canada while other says it was a fire at a Nuclear Plant in the US. I'm sure the cause will be discovered but I think the important thing is to get the power back to the peeps.
