From July 13 to July 14, there was a 25-hour blackout that affected most of New York City and which resulted in widespread looting, rioting and arson.
The next blackout -- which affected not just New York City, but several Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. states and Ontario, Canada -- occurred on August 14, 2003. Power was not fully restored to New York City until August 16.
Unlike the 1977 blackout, however, very little looting took place. The only reported incidents of looting were in Brooklyn. This is a testament to the drastically reduced crime rates and heightened morale of the city. From the 1970s through the early 1990s, New York City was in the midst of a serious crime problem, and the city was also facing bankruptcy. New York City is now the safest major U.S. city, and has been for several years.
