    I was in N.Y.C. for the previous 3 major Blackouts. In 1965 I was doing my homework in the Bronx, when the lights went out. In 1977 I was at home in Washington Heights when everything went black. In 2003 I had just boarded the Downtown Number 4 train at Yankee Stadium (the last stop above ground)! The doors closed and suddenly there was a thump, then nothing. Someone heard on a radio that there was a blackout. We didn't know at the time that it covered much of the Northeastern U.S.! We were able to pry one side of a door open, and everybody got out. I went straight to a store and bought up batteries and cold drinks (it was one of the hottest days of the year). If the outage had happened just a few minutes later, we would have been stuck underground overnight! Thank you for documenting this one!

    I am traveling to NYC in a couple of days and have been watching your videos for the past week to get me ready. I have to say you seem like such a genuinely good person in all of your videos. I can feel the passion you have for the city listening to your narrating. Just wanted to say thanks, and keep them coming as I will continue to watch even after I've returned home and have no plans to return to the city for a while.

    Hi ActionKid, I don't think anyone can question the successful ACTION you took by starting this channel. It is a success to all who see it and you offer us the glimpses that we can't experience ourselves. I look forward to your further future actions. Broadway is a place filled with very broad road ways and is famous for it's theater creations. I hope extensively to see it one day myself. Thank you for the outstanding upload.

    Whenever there is a power cut I think that it is just a little reminder of the real world, I mean there have been many more generations of human beings who have lived lives without the technology we tend to take for granted nowadays. I am glad though that the power was restored and I hope that not too many people suffered because of the outage.

    I live in France in a small village, between midnight and 6am they turn the street lights off to save power (like all maybe 10 of them) and then on top of that here is France it is usual to have shutters that you close as well after your windows.I would not like to walk around my house,!

    Look at all the people from the underground that were forced to surface and walk to their destination. Personally, I think it's rather interesting to observe how "normal people" react when one aspect of their life is removed. The subway or elevator are two places I wouldn't want to be when NYC loses power regardless of the duration. It's really amazing to see how calm all the curious people are during the electric grid disruption. If this outage would have lasted more than half a day, no doubt all chaos would ensue. Whats more amazing is this power outage comes 42 years to the day after the great blackout of 1977 when ALL of New York was in the dark. Lights or no lights, 👍🏼to all the people that are still drawn to Times Square! We ❤️ you NYC! Shoutout to Action Kid for this incredible insider view of "Manhattan in Mayhem".

    @jimdoyel5044 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ak - Another great video. Who knew? You just take things as they come and go with the flow. For some people a power outage charges their battery (no pun intended here), and it's time to party, and for others, they just want to get where they're going. But, yeah, I can imagine people getting stuck on an elevator; especially if they're by themselves. What must be going through their mind? The thing about something like this is, all the fallout just has this trickle down affect, and whether it's a business or whatever, it takes them awhile before they get their marbles lined up again. Anyway, thanks for these very informative and at times entertaining videos. You're doing a great service for the city of NY and everyone who has the ability to watch them. Over and out.

    This video is better than any news report of the black out. Gives a great overview of how the blackout affected that section of Manhattan. ActionKid on the scene! Interesting that half of Times Square had power.

      It was really strange how there was power on one side but not the other!

      @@ActionKid Think about it and do some investigating. 42nd street had half lit and half dark, (only street like that)? 42 years to the day that the outage in 1977 occurred, and I was told 42,000 lost power. Not coincidence obviously. I was told that these are only a few of the 42 references. Why 42 and what are the other ones?

    10:05.....seeing that southbound #3 train that tried to coast by 66th St.....as a retired motorman.....I'm not sure if I would even try to coast further.....if you get stuck.... you'll have people stuck in dark tunnels......might have been better to stop adjacent to the station.....easier to evacuate if necessary.....

    • @ActionKid
      @ActionKid  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good point. I was wondering how that #3 train was still running if there was no power. The trains can still coast to the next station?

    A little tip, if you find yourself without power and happen to be near a Starbucks, from my personal experience they will comp your coffee since most of them I have been at at least didn’t have back up power.

    But more than that NYC is a true mega city with so much packed into it if you're someone who love cities NYC is the virtual toyland of Cities!!!

    I remember a power outage in NYC back when I lived there that was from The World Trade Center all the way to 42nd street. I had to walk in the pouring rain that entire distance to finally get to a subway with power at 42nd street. It sucked because all the buses and cabs were taken and the traffic lights were out so traffic got stuck all over the city. It was not a fun experience.
