Hoy hemos leído otra leyenda más sobre esta ciudad, más concretamente sobre el Gran Apagón que sumió a la ciudad en la más absoluta oscuridad en el año 1965. Aunque muchas otras ciudades han tenido grandes apagones a lo largo de la historia, podemos decir que el de Nueva York fue sin duda el más enigmático de todos. ¿Quieres tener todas las versiones sobre lo que ocurrió?
No se si tacharlo de erróneo... da por sentado que TODA LA CIUDAD se quedó sin luz, cuando no fue así:
The blackout was not universal in the city. Some neighborhoods never lost power. Also, some areas in New York City suburban area Bergen County, New Jersey, served by PSE&G, did not lose power. Most of the television stations in the New York metro area went dead, as well as about half the FM stations.
The task force that investigated the blackout found that a lack of voltage and current monitoring was a contributing factor to the blackout, and recommended improvements. The Electric Power Research Institute helped the electric power industry develop new metering and monitoring equipment and systems, which have become the modern SCADA systems in use today.
The cause of the failure was human error that happened days before the blackout, when maintenance personnel incorrectly set a protective relay on one of the transmission lines between the Niagara generating station Sir Adam Beck Station No. 2 in Queenston, Ontario. The safety relay, which is set to trip if the current exceeds the capacity of the transmission line, was set too low.
When no cause for the blackout was immediately apparent, several UFO writers (including John G. Fuller, in his book Incident at Exeter) postulated that the blackout was caused by UFOs. Several sightings of probably mundane objects were cited, along with a sighting of a possible arc from a power line to a tree near Syracuse.
#3 Hombre tacharlo de erróneo por ese detalle me parece un pelín exagerado teniendo en cuenta que es el conocimiento general que se tiene del "Gran Apagón" de Nueva York... pero por curiosidad, ¿Podrías citar la fuente? Me interesa!!

#5, son párrafos de la wikipedia, no en el mismo orden en el que están en ella eso sí: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Blackout_of_1965
Todos saben que fue la esfera que sale en Men&Black
.
#1 te refieres a Men in Black??
#2 Si, he puesto "&" por la puta cara la verdad
, cuando me he dado cuenta ya no podía cambiarlo.
