New York 2005 Blackout
I'm just watching videos on the NY blackout in 2005.

Turns out that most people were just getting on with their normal lives. But that's because they were all told power would be back in 3 hours. That gave them all hope. Hope is the only thing that stopped the 2005 blackout from become a riot scenario. Imagine if the government said they wouldn't ever get electricity again. What do you think would happen?
