I guess this is what they call a New York moment. After being trapped on the F for an hour because of the power outage I emerged to see dark restaurants & traffic lights, civilians directing traffic, & an evacuated Carnegie Hall concert happening in the street. #nyc #Blackout pic.twitter.com/3p9UWtRrel

一名當地記者在社交平台表示,停電當時他人正好在電影院裡,大約 7 點左右,突然一片漆黑,看電影的民眾驚慌失措,全都跑到大街上,發現紅綠燈及其他交通號誌全都停擺,導致交通大亂。紐約大都會交通局( Metropolitan Transportation Authority )表示,多個車站無電力供應,造成「許多地鐵線長時間延誤」,建議民眾避免搭乘地鐵。此外,當地消防單位也接獲多宗有人受困電梯的報案電話。
巧合的是,這次大停電正好發生在 1977 年大停電滿 42 周年這天,當年停電導致紐約市大部份區域都沒有電力可用,約 900 萬人受到影響。
