Manhattan, lights off, July 12, 1977 (we were there)

By Jack Brummet, NYC Metro Ed.

The 24-hour blackout of NYC (from History in pictures twitter feed) 7/13/77. KeeKee, Jan, and I were there. It was the Summer of Sam and I was in Long Island College hospital in Brooklyn with a pneumothorax and double pneumonia. The only good part was that I had a view of lower Manhattan and watched as the lights blinked off around town.
