Show Notes

On a Thursday afternoon in 2003, the power went out in New York City. Rush hour commutes turned into walking across bridges or sleeping on the steps of Penn Station. Neighbors left their dark and quiet apartments and congregated on the streets outside of their buildings. Now 20 years later, Pat Kiernan speaks with his NY1 colleagues about what it was like covering the largest blackout in North America — when nobody could watch television.
