The 1965 Blackout In The Northeast
On November 9, 1965, more than 30 million people in Ontario, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Pennsylvania were left without power all of a sudden. The entire system failed after something went wrong with the lines’ protective relay failed. Like dominoes, interconnected lines fell. This plunged vast expanses into darkness. Traffic lights failed and businesses were unable to operate. The incident cost more than $6 million in damages and different power plants had difficulty rectifying it.
