City Wide Power Outage Hits San Fransisco, See The Shocking Aftermath In Photos. by Explorers(m): 5:29am On Apr 22, 2017 |
On Friday morning,massive power outages hit San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles, as well as other American cities, causing chaos during the morning commutes for, it’s probably safe to say, millions of people. A blackout left 95,000 without power in downtown San Francisco, trapping more than 20 people in elevators and causing traffic chaos on the same day New York's subway was crippled by a power outage. The outages on either coast both occurred on Friday morning, throwing America's first and fifth largest rapid transit systems into disarray at the peak of the two cities' morning rush hours. The power outage in San Francisco stalled work in the technology and finance center as a vast swath of the financial district lost electricity around 9am local time. Office workers spilled onto city streets in the heart of the business district, milling about as traffic snarled, since stoplights were not working. An insulation fire at a PG&E substation at Larkin and Eddy streets is the reported cause of the outages. The fire has been contained and local media reports that PG&E hopes to restore power by 1pm for most customers. The San Francisco Fire Department says it has responded to more than 100 calls for service since the blackout struck, including 20 calls for people stuck in elevators. http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/04/21/photos-major-power-outages-in-san-francisco-new-york/ https://www.inverse.com/article/30634-power-outages-nyc-sf-la-in-photos?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C3268576680 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4433794/NYC-San-Francisco-dual-blackouts-mystery.html Lalasticlala Mynd44 4 Likes 4 Shares

In Nigeria even our small businesses run like lga. They have to drill borehole for water, buy generating set for power and manage roads too. That's why its a bit more difficult to start a business here. Tempel 69 Likes 5 Shares |

This is normal thing over here. Amazing to see how lazy and non challant workers are over there, they are waiting for the elevators to come on before going to their respective workstation. Try that one here, even in UBA building marina and see if your assss will not be sent packing 123 Likes 2 Shares |
