NEW YORK - Government and utility officials were still searching for definite reasons on Sunday for a five-hour blackout in a large section of New York City’s Manhattan borough that left 73,000 customers without power on Saturday.
A transformer explosion at West 49th Street cascaded into a widespread outage that cut power subways, homes and businesses. Neither a cyber attack nor a terrorist act were to blame, de Blasio added at a press conference. “Definite causes will take some time” to figure out, he said.
