Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Northeast blackout of 1965" in English language version.
The largest power failure in history blacked out nearly all of New York City, parts of nine Northeastern states and two provinces of southeastern Canada last night. Some 80,000 square miles, in which perhaps 25 million people live and work, were affected. ... The light and power went out first at 5:17 P.M. somewhere along the Niagara frontier of New York State. ... The tripping of automatic switches hurtled the blackout eastward across the state—to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Schenectady, Troy and Albany. ... At 5:27 p.m., the lights began sputtering in New York City, and within seconds, the giant Consolidated Edison system blacked out in Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and most of Brooklyn—but not in Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn that were interconnected with the Public Service Electric and Gas Company of New Jersey.
