	New York City blackout of 1977 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New York City Blackout of 1977 was a flout that affected New York City on July 13–14, 1977.
		Unlike other flouts that affected the region, namely the Northeast Blackout of 1965 and the 2003 North America flout, the 1977 flout was localized to New York City alone and resulted in city-wide looting and other disorder, including arson.

	A Selective History of New York City
		As a side note, under a new city charter, effective January 1, 1963, a mayor was elected for a four-year term to head a centralized city government, the Board of Estimate, which also included the borough presidents, the comptroller, and the city council president.
		New York City was particularly hit by this flout, due to its reliance on electricity for nearly all aspects of city life.
		New York State's eight largest electric utility companies formed the New York Power Pool (NYPP) in response to the Great Northeast Blackout in an attempt to reduce the probability of another major power interruption, combining the eight member's knowledge and technical resources in power generation and transmission.

		Unlike the previous flout of 1965, or thesubsequent flout of 2003, the 1977 floutresulted in widespread looting and other disorder including arson.
		The cause of the flout was said to be a series of four lightning strikes tovital power lines north of the city (the first at 8:37 pm).
		New York's subsequent strong financial recovery in the 1980s and 1990s under mayors such as Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani did much to erase the crisis of self-confidence of which the 1977event was perhaps the lowest point.

		NEW YORK (CNN) -- For many New Yorkers, the flout of 1977 is a dark memory.
		Unlike a similar flout in 1965 that was characterized by calm, the 1977 flout erupted in chaos -- and terror.
		Coming not long after President Ford told the city to "Drop Dead," -- in the words of the New York Daily News -- the power outage was a painful blow to a proud city's prestige.

	Gill Blog: New York City blackout of 1977
		On August 14, 2003, New York City and most of the northeast North American continent experienced the largest "flout" in history, which left us blogging in the darkness, and prompted this historical observation in the international press:
		Blackouts have a particular place in the history of New York City.
		Twelve years later, in 1977, there was what the New York Times also describes as the "bad flout", which, until 11 September, was literally and metaphorically, one of the city's darkest hours.

	Biggest Blackout In U.S. History - CBS News
		New York City's 1977 flout affected some nine million and the flout of 1965 left 25 million in the dark in New York state and New England.
		As dawn approached in the New York area, lights were reported flickering back on in Times Square, on Fifth Avenue, much of Staten Island, parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx, parts of Westchester County, N.Y., and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.
		For New York police, the focus was on the ramifications of the flout rather than its cause.

	Reason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		This was true even in New York City, where such antisocial behavior was once seen as part of the city's very essence.
		The total damage for the crime, arson, and theft associated with the '77 flout is generally pegged at around $150 million and the mayhem that ensued (including looting and widespread muggings in broad daylight) is considered on a par or worse with what followed in the wake of the late-'60s race riots there.
		It's hard to know all the reasons for the different responses to the '77 and '03 flouts (one of the great parlor games in New York after the '77 flout was figuring out why people had acted so much worse than they did during the great '65 flout).

		It is challenging to imagine the flouts as anything but technological accidents--oversights of management and engineering quickly and inevitably corrected.
		The flouts revealed an intersection of long-term developments which have often been overlooked, underestimated, or studied as disconnected phenomena.
		The Great Northeast Blackout of 1965 and the New York City Blackout of 1977 each, in its own way, challenged the electric utility industry to rethink its technologies and operating procedures.

		New York City drew most of its intercity power from the north over a densely-packed corridor of power lines.
		Running in-city reserve generators was more expensive than buying surplus electricity from neighboring cities, so Consolidated Edison’s general strategy was to buy from the power pool whenever possible.[3] This led to an overreliance on the interties.
		All in all, only 43% of the city’s in-city reserve generating capability could be mustered on the night of the incident.[4] It was not enough.

		The advance of technology has spawned a new generation of entrepreneurs who don’t need suits, ties, and standard office space to compete successfully in business.
		Not only did they eliminate the nine-to-five, five-day week in favor of an entirely new system of time management, they used the tools of new technology to change the way work was done.
		The fact that the rhetoric hasn't changed even iota suggests to me at least that places like Canada really need to move beyond the bogeyman phase of risk management and adopt attitudes and policies that are more closely aligned with their cousins across the Atlantic.

		One city, one disaster, and a million different responses were the recipe for the flout of 1977, when lightning strikes, a bottlenecked and antiquated grid, and a poorly trained operator at a Con Edison control center all conspired to plunge millions of New Yorkers into darkness.
		In "Blackout" (published almost two years after another massive power outage plunged the northeastern United States and Canada into flness in August 2003) professor and author James Goodman chooses to focus on, if you will, the darker side of the story.
		"Blackout" pulls the reader into a world turned upside-down, one in which social conventions of order are as useless as the wall switch.
