One dead in NYC blackout

2003-08-15 15:56

New York - One man died and a firefighter was seriously injured in the massive blackout that hit the northeastern United States and Ontario, Canada, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Friday.

A man died of a heart attack during the outage, and the fireman was hurt battling a fire, the mayor said.

Bloomberg urged New Yorkers to take a day off work if possible to ease traffic, as power began to gradually flow back on line in the city.

City firefighters responded to more than 5 000 calls on Thursday to help people stranded or having trouble because of the outage, Bloomberg told a press conference.
