People are so unknowing of the electrical system and how it works, never thinking about it, until something like this happens to draw their attention to it and then they don’t know what it is.
I live in whitestone and my lights TV and appliances did like a reset. Then my buddy in flushing calls me and said did you look outside. The blue lights were visible here. Holy crap I thought a meteor or an invasion! Lol
@@nordicasaurus apparently. it was a game with just friends though, not a pub so i dont know fortunately the power was down and back up in a split second lol
Did something on or in the lense burn? towards the end of the video, there's that smoking spot somewhat in the middle that seems to move with the camera

Hi, I'm from FoxNews. Can we have permission to use this and say that it was immigrants who did this? It will help build a case for the steel slats/beaded curtain that the 5 billion dollars, of your hard earned money, will produce. Thank you, Geraldo Rivera
DitchDiggerPDX Hi, I'm from CNN, MSNBC and every other news outlet. Can we have permission to use this and say that it was Trump who caused this? We need something to distract our viewers from our fake news report about Trump not visiting the troops on Christmas. Thanks!
so i just watched this video twice in a row from two different angles... one closer than the other... in the first one i noticed little blinking lights over the plant and thought it was reflecting from dudes camera... but after watchin it from this angle the blinking lights are in this one too. in the same exact places the other ones were.... theres somethin about this they didnt tell us about
And so begins the next 10 years of New York City based SciFi movie/writing material...
I almost thought it was some kind of weird solar storm.
That seems to be bright blue spark, as temperature is above 10000K
That shit was so fucking wild.. electricity also dropped for a second right before it blew up..
Best Jacob's ladder video on the net!
A friend saw it from Brooklyn, another from Jersey, and my brother saw it from the Lower East Side, shit was massive
It's like music to my ears! Sometimes I regret I live in Europe. Such things never happen here.
my PC turned off from Surge at the start, " this better be the end of the world"
oh hi Gary
saw this from flushing, thought it was doomsday
Saw this from flushing too , thought it was thanos
pretty much everyone in NYC could see it too 🥶😱

that's one way to end 2018
Looking back do u wish u could go back

Wooooowww fena bir patlama olmuş daha yakın çekimleri yok mu acaba?
I live 2 blocks away from it. Whole Astoria had their lights flickering.
i don’t even live near astoria and my lights did the same 🥶
@@serena7989 me too
And the stench in the air is terrible. All that smoke and blue light is burning copper.
Glad nobody was hurt (according to what I read), but this was fascinating to watch
Bright blue or white glare coming towards the camera, the temperature is above 7000K
Pretty colors
I saw the sky light up here near Nassau County, also the outage hit my place too.
Where's ElectroMan when you need 'em? New York is slacking on the super heros these days...
was in the middle of my payday 2 game and i thought my pc just died
#medicbagforconedison
People still play Payday 2?

Hello I work with PIX11 News, can we have permission to use this video with credit? Thank you
i saw this shit to i thought the aliens came to take over the world
What is wrong with meter and relay at so many utilities? This should have tripped offline long time ago.

Ultra brightness from the arc. They are EXTREMELY bright and give off ionizing UV radiation
@@EphemeralProductionsBruh ionizing radiation? Are you dumb?
@@EphemeralProductionswhere’s your proof of that, that sounds ridiculous
@@BrockPerez-c7x if you’re saying that then you know nothing about arcs
Transformers are pretty strong considering the power came back on after all that arcing
well thats a lot of money there
Saw this from Brooklyn. Thought either a movie was being filmed or some sort of electrical dtorm
I witnessed this from Jersey City
I thought it was some alien shit and I was going to die. Like this is how the movies start where there’s a weird ass thing in the sky
Don't worry..it will come.
Saw it from Manhattan.
Explosion?I did not see any explosion
Just a hv arc /pretty good by the way
Hello I am an assignment editor at ABC7 can we use this video for all platforms for web and on air? We will credit your name thanks!

Slow the speed down to 0.25 and you get a totally different perspective - likewise when jacking the speed up to 2.0
any one here knows if this can cause radiation or something like that? that was the first thing that came through my head.
Lots of UV radiation! If you were to stare at that arc with your bare eyes, it would injure them. Make them feel like you got sand in them.
It's just Spider-Man and Electro fighting. No big deal

Tomato sauce with pasta 🍝
Tomato sauce 🥫 and tomato paste
Who’s the one person that would dislike this🤔
Saw this from queens i through it was aliens 👽
My question is what that alien looking thing dancing around the explosion
Looks similar to the shadows dancing around the firenado video from the UK: ruclips.net/video/LjxTZAjeDS4/видео.html
There’s no aliens 🙄🙄🙄🙄. It’s just the way the light and shadows moved and rendered in the camera
Lense reflection, your looking at the arc being reflected through the lense
Lens glare?

i saw it to
Ohh shit we going to die.!!.....😭😭😭😭😭😭!
Were the Russians blamed yet by someone?
I suppose it being the 27th is irrelevant at this point, eh?
Why? What's up with the 27th?
Yeah, what's up with the 27th? Please explain
Am confused
