Hurricane Sandy: The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction
Above is a still from a video that was uploaded to Youtube showing a transformer exploding at the Con Edison plant on 14th Street in Manhattan. It is suspected that this generator exploding is what caused all of Manhattan below 39th Street to lose power. As much as we were inundated with photoshopped pictures of sharks swimming along New Jersey streets or storm clouds descending on the Statue of Liberty as in “Ghostbusters,” this video is an example of something that we wish were fabricated instead of real.
