Air traffic into New York's three major airports was affected, the Federal Aviation Administration said, and thousands of office workers crowded onto the streets in heat of more than 90 degrees F (33 C), facing a long walk home as buses and trains came to a halt and the streets became gridlocked as traffic signals failed to function. Thousands more were trapped underground in the dark when rush hour subway trains stopped in their tunnels after the power went out shortly after 4 pm local time (8:20am Friday NZT). Cellular phone services were disrupted as anxious New Yorkers clogged the network with calls. "Right now the power outage is affecting all of our operations, We have no buses, no trains, no subways running. The airports have their perimeters secured ...," a spokesman for the New York Port Authority said. Nine nuclear reactors in four US states were shut down following the outage, officials said. |
