Well the NYT has an article about it and it all started with a power outage. That
outage caused a domino effect on trains across the NYC Metro area.
snip
The power failure occurred at 7:30 a.m. at the Seventh Avenue station, at 53rd Street.
Because it knocked out the station’s signal system, most of the trains that stop there, on
the B, D and E lines, had to be rerouted to other lines. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said the
power loss had resulted from a Con Ed equipment failure.
Any train that was not rerouted had to be manually directed through the station, a particularly
time-consuming process, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which
operates the subways. Because the system’s lines are so intertwined, a ripple effect
was almost inevitable. A spokeswoman for the authority likened it to cars being diverted
from a highway to local streets. Gridlock ensued as other subway stations dealt with
the resulting overflow.

You mean make up scary stories to scare one another, like 12 year old girls at a sleepover!
I've been here years longer than you and know exactly what FR once was like. Back in the early days...this conspiracy crap, based on a pathetically stupid article, by some ninny, writing on some blog was laughed at and the Viking Kitties descended on the thread and whopped the poster and the other tinfoil hatters black and blue.
Was it a problem? YES, IT SURE WAS A TRAFFIC MESS!
Could ALL subway trains be rerouted? HELL NO; IT CAN'T BE!
And the ONLY lose of power was in the subway system.
But go ahead, take the N.Y. Slimes' and CBS' word for Gospel, but I hope that you have a huge stock of Reynold's Wrap handy. ;^)

Here is an official site, scroll down to the section “Ardent Sentry 17 Gotham Shield:
Scheduled for April 24th to 28th 2017.
There wasn’t a power failure city wide and what I posted didn’t allude to that.
It was a problem at one station where Con Ed had equipment failure. That cause
a domino effect on the trains for miles around.
I don’t believe this treads premise of it being a conspiracy at all. But a lot
of blogs post such crap. Now you take care and have a good one.
Since the media downplayed them, I’m voting for terror.
I bet that you always believe the employment figures from the government too, as well as what the State Department claimed caused the death of four people in Benghazi.
The logical question is this: Why would jihadists cut off power to their trained leftist apes?
From the time I was little, ConEd has been a mess and I passed my "salad days" long ago.
The NYC subway system is, for the most part, 100 + years old and needs attention and fixing very badly. It was much better when I was little and even when I was a young adult, but that soon ended.
And in case anyone is interested, the bus service/system, was light years better, when several of the lines were PRIVATELY owned!
And then there is NYC traffic, which began going to hell in a handbasket, in 1966, when two way traffic, on some major streets were changed to only one way. Then, along came Bloomy, who installed bus bicycle lanes and making stupid malls out of many streets!
They don't need terrorist help.
Two subway trains had a problem, which led to some power outages.
Makes no sense.
Makes a whole LOT of “sense” to those who know anything at all about the NYC subway system; not to mention the history of ConEd!
Yep, with PG&E a major outage is a possibility every day! (Poor sub-station maintenance). And it was in S.F.? Who cares! (I wonder if PG&E’s HQ building was dark?)
It is obvious, at least to me, that much of this "government activity" is being driven by embedded enemies domestic put in place as far back as the 90's.
Once a "guilty" agency is identified, it should be pulled out by the roots and either eliminated or replaced by individuals vetted to ensure faithfulness to ALL Constitutional principles and existing laws. NO exceptions.
Any attempt to repeat the abuses in the recent past by the IRS should demand certain mandatory serious penalties and jail time, with a minimum of "investigations." The abuse either happens or it doesn't.
To prevent the "delaying" game (Hillary is a master at that) There should NEVER be a statute of limitation for abuse of Federal power by any Federal Agency.
Lord no! All those locations are on their side.

I said to myself "stupid pilot".
Those days are over.
My JOB is to evaluate data and catch suspicious coincidences, which rarely turn out to be such.
All of these power outages in one morning are statistically significant. Plus the port being down the evening before for hours and stranding trucks for most of the evening.
When this happens at work I have to stop and troubleshoot the unusual event.
If you think these power outages are just a rare coincidence then so be it. I won't believe that for at least six months.
That was my first thought. Probably something that would not be reported.
Why not just leave the thread then?
I didn’t say I believed that govt site.
I posted it to counter the conspiracy-minded site.
