What? The blackout affected more than NYC? I heard on BBC World that there was a power outage in New York so I turned on the television. MSNBC had shots of New York City streets flooded with pedestrians, so did CNN and ABC. The anchors were giving us play-by-play of people walking across NYC bridges and negotiating signalless intersectectins in Manhattan.
After a while they started interviewing people on the streets. So we were treated to New Yorker after New Yorker congratulating themselves for making it through such an ordeal. One guy suggested that the people in Detroit were probably freaking out but New Yorkers were calm because they can handle anything. The New York reporters were patting themselves on the back later in the evening. Someone said that New York City was calm while Cleveland had to impose a curfew.
I don't know how we non-New Yorkers manage live out here. We are all unsophisticated rubes out here in the hinterlands. Or that's what they think.
