Power Outage in our NYC Subway System "Gov. Spitzer, Kevin Burke and Mayor Bloomberg live in the outage
area"
Kevin Burke, Con Ed CEO, on News 4.
"It started at 3:42 pm, when circuit breakers tripped at an Astoria
substation. We have to find out what happened, why the breakers opened
at that substation. When they opened they de-energized the lines going
to these other two substations in the Bronx. And with that, the supply
of electricity going to those customers was interrupted."
Mayor Bloomberg: "It was a minor inconvenience." |
