据报道，美国时间7月13日晚曼哈顿部分地区发生了严重停电。
康迪森估计，超过42，000名纽约人断电。
纽约警察局和纽约消防局报告称，由于人们报告被困在电梯和其他问题中，电话数量激增。NYPD官员已经要求其他行政区的单位做出回应。
停电影响了市中心洛克菲勒中心以及时代广场的一部分。几个地铁站也停电了，这促使正在运行的列车跳过这些站，直到恢复供电。
停电发生在1977年纽约市停电42周年之际。

媒体报道显示，曼哈顿中城和上西区部分地区数千人断电。
根据为纽约市和韦斯切斯特县供电的康迪森公司的说法，大约42，500人受到停电的影响，纽约市警察局称停电范围从第五大道延伸到哈德逊河，西40街延伸到第72街。
然而，纽约市长比尔·白思豪在推特上表示，检修孔火灾是停电的原因。白思豪没有说明火灾发生在哪里或者是否有人受伤。
社交媒体上的帖子显示了这座没有电力的城市的地标，包括洛克菲勒中心、帝国大厦和时代广场的一部分。
每日野兽 据报道，停电的原因是伦敦西区大街和西64街的变压器爆炸，但康尼德、NYPD和NYFD都没有证实是什么原因导致停电。
“我们正在应对曼哈顿西区的大规模停电，”康恩德发言人迈克尔·克伦德宁告诉记者纽约每日新闻。“这是设备问题，我们正在努力恢复客户。”
停电还影响了哥伦布圆环、洛克菲勒中心47-50街、哈德逊广场34街和第五大道/53街地铁站，迫使停电时列车上的乘客由MTA员工护送通过隧道和黑暗的车站。
尽管停电，列车仍在运行，但没有电力的车站被列车绕过，直到电力恢复。曼哈顿两边的地铁线路服务有限，受影响的车站对公众关闭。
周六也标志着曼哈坦亨格的第二个夜晚，这是一个日出和日落与城市街道完全一致的事件。尽管周五和周六的日落景色清晰，但纽约的五月活动因雨和云而被搁置。曼哈顿计划于当地时间晚上8:20开始。
停电还导致一些百老汇演出取消了周六晚上的演出，包括最佳音乐托尼奖得主哈德斯顿，汉密尔顿，刻薄的女孩和金刚。
另一场被迫取消的演出，来自远方，没有让电力不足阻止他们。演员们走上街头，向满是人的街道表演一首他们表演的歌曲。
停电也迫使詹妮弗·洛佩兹取消了在麦迪逊广场花园的演唱会。在停电和演出停止之前，这位歌手已经唱了三首歌。数千出席音乐会的人被疏散。
洛佩兹后来跳上推特向她的粉丝道歉，说她对节目被停止感到“心碎和难过”，但她答应重新安排。
社交媒体上捕捉到，没有红绿灯，一些纽约人会出面帮忙。
停电发生在1977年大停电42周年之际，那次停电使纽约大部分地区陷入了两天的黑暗之中。那次停电是由雷击击中两个变电站引发的，发生在萨姆之子系列谋杀案已经使这座城市濒临崩溃的时候。
NEW YORK CITY POWER OUTAGE: THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER IN MIDTOWN, UPPER WEST SIDE ON 42ND ANNIVERSARY OF 1977 BLACKOUT
Asignificant power outage is being reported in parts of Manhattan tonight.
• ConEdison estimates that over 42,000 New Yorkers are without power.
• The New York Police Department and New York Fire Department have reported a spike in calls as people are reporting being trapped in elevators and other issues. NYPD officials have asked units from other boroughs to respond.
• The outage has impacted Rockefeller Center in Midtown, as well as a portion of Times Square. Several subway stations also have lost power, prompting trains that are running to skip those stations until power can be restored.
• The outage arrives on the 42nd anniversary of the 1977 New York City Blackout.

Media reports indicate that thousands are without power in parts of Midtown Manhattan and the Upper West Side.
According to ConEdison, which provides power for New York City and Westchester County, approximately 42,500 people have been impacted by the outage which the New York City Police Department says stretches from 5th Avenue to the Hudson River and West 40s to 72nd Street.
However, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, tweeted to say that a manhole fire is responsible for the outage. De Blasio did not indicate where the fire occurred or if anyone was injured.
Posts to social media showed landmarks in the city without power, including Rockefeller Center, the Empire State building and parts of Times Square.
The Daily Beast reports that the source of the outage is a blown transformer at West End Avenue and West 64th Street, but neither ConEd, NYPD or NYFD have confirmed what caused the break in service.
"We are responding to extensive outages on the west side of Manhattan," said Con Ed spokesman Michael Clendenin told the New York Daily News. "It's equipment issues, and we are working to restore customers."
The outage also impacted the Columbus Circle, 47-50 Streets-Rockefeller Center, 34 Street-Hudson Yards, and 5th Avenue/53 Street subway stations, forcing passengers on trains at the time the power cut to be escorted through tunnels and dark stations by MTA employees.
While trains are still running despite the outage, the stations without power are being bypassed by trains until power is restored. Subway lines on both sides of Manhattan are running with limited service, and the affected stations are closed to the public.
Saturday also marked the second night of Manhattanhenge, an event where the rising and setting sun aligns perfectly with the city's street grid. New York's May event was sidelined by rain and clouds, though Friday and Saturday's sunset was presented with clear views. Manhattanhenge began at 8:20 p.m. local time.
The outage also saw some Broadway shows cancel their Saturday evening performances, including Best Musical Tony winner Hadestown, Hamilton, Mean Girls and King Kong.
Another show forced to cancel, Come From Away, didn't let a lack of electricity stop them. The cast headed out on the street to perform a song from their show to a street full of people.
The outage also forced the cancellation of Jennifer Lopez's concert at Madison Square Garden. The singer had performed three songs before the power went out and the show was stopped. Thousands attending the concert were evacuated.
Lopez later hopped onto Twitter to apologize to her fans, saying she is "heartbroken and devastated" that the show was stopped, but she promised to reschedule.
