Co-Op City, the massive co-op housing development (reportedly the largest in the world) in the Bronx, lost power over night. Con Ed says power was out at eight building and has been restored to six of them, and the other two buildings, per WCBS 880, "are being worked on and won't be back on until Saturday morning." Initially there was a fire, but that has been put out. Con Ed would also like you to know that they didn't cause it--apparently Co-Op City maintenance workers had been working on feeders, one of which tripped and cause the outage. WNBC reports that "there may be power in public areas, but not in apartments." People had been stuck in elevators and the FDNY was able to remove them. No injuries have been reported.

8 buildings in co-op city? isn't that like the population of queens?
MIL says power went back on in her building 9A at 8:30AM.
So it was out for about an hour and a half.
Thank god it was limited to only eight customers per Con Ed math.
True, Snoopy. I wonder if they'll try to use that tally in this case.
had never heard of this place but it sounds really interesting
It's a really great place to live. Especially if you like the Corbusian life style. It has high rise living and living in high rises with great views of other high rises and a wealth of artists, both visual and aural. Close to shopping and transportation. Great restaurants and pubs like you see in Ireland. Highly recommended for people who own small dogs.
