Yes, because a power outage affecting over 300,000 people, which shut down subway service and traffic lights in Manhattan is no big deal.

Official time without power was 48 minutes before Con Ed fixed it...subways were up and running with some delays by PM rush. Yes, I call that no big deal. As nwafan20 said, it happens all the time in other cities.
