This has gone viral. I got first tweet because everybody is over at Twitter rocking. Twitter is the coolest way to watch news in real time. The networks totally suck. They are showing crap stock footage from this afternoon. Head back to Twitter. Nothing to see here.
BTW-I am at @DavidBCollum. I could use some followers that are not pornbots.
curious how the lights in the foreground and background didn't even flicker and continue to be on
BOOM BOOM(OUT GO THE LIGHTS)

Krugman just (Charlie) MUNGERED in his pants.
Well my little attempt at humor landed like a brick!
Failed to make me (Charlie) MUNGER in my pants. LOL! Hey, is the stock market open tomorrow?
Gangs Plan Hurricane Looting Spree Via Twitter

October 29, 2012
Scores of Twitter users have flooded the social networking site announcing their plans to go on looting sprees once Hurricane Sandy makes landfall, as the New York National Guard announced it would put troops on duty in Long Island to prevent such activity.

22 LR allow you to keep distance and are quite.
You beat me to it!
Definitely on the same wavelength though.
Fark! That's the biggest meth lab explosion I've ever seen!
I googled the plant - it generates steam, not electricity.

Talk about redirection by the MSM, for some reason (I don't know, it is what it is) CNBS and CNBS World been showing olde clips of American Greed and associated horseshit tonight with no Asian financial coverage.
That plant makes hot air.... mayhaps some hot air losses over in Englewood Cliffs, hopea hopea hopea
Must gots to make the disaster BIG to make sure Victory Celebration of Messiah and His Heros of Capitalism Ring Throughout the Land Saving New York!
Praise be to (ya'll know the fucking list) etc., etc., etc
(strains of FDR newsreels accompanied by joyous peasantry singing "Happy Days are Here Again")
"I googled the plant - it generates steam, not electricity."
Steam is used to generate electricity.
Natural disaster leads to explosion. Just like Fukushima.
We need more steam
Mossad get around, protected by their CIA/FBI brethern.
You're right, they seem to loop the same generic crap.
Whole new World @ twitter; some fascinating links - Sandy from space, pics
Sandy was an inside job..
helped by HAARP
helped by welsbach seeding?
pfft
there is no such thing as a "journal of weather modification"
and even if there were, no one would write about kickstarting an atmospheric perturbation
long jet engines
What's wrong with porn-bots? When I was a teenage kid, I dreamed of building a porn-bot. The sadness of an unfulfilled dream is sometimes almost overwhelming. :-(
Sorry. Maybe it was picking on pornbots that got the junk...or maybe not.
Wasn't me.
Weird Science.
OH...THE HUMANITY....THE HUMANITY.....OH....OH...
Diwali is here early!
The Bernank just had an emergency press conference and claimed that the explosion referenced destroyed the underground vault that held Germany's gold reserves-- a significant portion of which Germany requested repatriation of recently (being kept under bailment by the New York Branch of the Fed as custodian).
Melted it, and the rats came to get warm, and died, then rabid packs of dogs and cats and rats ate the rats with the gold on their fur.
Only hope is to confiscate moo-shu pork and kung pao chicken from Chinese food restaurants but a Wok gets pretty hot.
Bullish for gold and tungsten plated Woks!
Sounds about right.
Yes, NOAA will announce that spectographic analysis shows the 'white light' is actually german gold in gaseous form exploding out of the NYFRB vaults, never to be seen again.
Fortunately this video was shot from a safe distance. Like across the river.
Kinda looked like Baghdad in the good old days.
Shock and Awe, Baby!

Damned terrorists - I knew it. They hate us for our electric lights.
Explosion was really an Israeli "dry run" air strike on an Iran power plant attack.
You get better news on the web than from the moron TV stations. Not one station has reported on the lower Manhattan blackout.
You get better hoaxes as well....
PULL IT!!!!
Wow! Let's just pray nobody got killed.
And FUCK YOU BERNANKE!
you sure that's not FRBNY's printers being shifted into hyperdrive?
Fed doesn't print - Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints - though they're printing less and less it seems.
It COULD be trillions of electrons representing all that new electronic money being crreated. The computers can't handle the load...
But how will the masses watch Oprah and charge their Chevy Volts?
thought both had been retired, one due to persistent and consistent success (Opra), the other for persistent and consistent failure (Volt)
14th street? Then half of Manhatten must be under water.
Boom goes the dynamite.
That was just another meth lab going up.
there's so much toxic shit in NY it could be anything
this is a global toxic nuclear pump and dump 'centre of excellence' the storm front just adds to the thrill of high risk kamakazi bankers
The power going out in NYC?
Ain't nobody got time for dat.
Hope all are well at the plant, but doubt it! Damn!
I am sure the operators are hunkered down and not in harms way, a lot of these guys (and some gals) have come from the Navy so are used to things becoming fubar..... just a browning of the pants moment....
I would not want to be picking up the tab for those repairs..... it is a 660 MW combined cycle dual fuel turbine (siemens?) plant, I wonder if what you saw was the back up gen set (electric side) going up in smoke, it was kinda big flash (s) for that? Did any other sections of the city go black with this mishap? Hmm no more de watering pumps... lots of delicate instruments and equipment that don't like brine water..... very bad. very expensive......
Looked to me like Electric Arcing, probably some large Transformers envolved..
Siemens, huh?
I guess water and Stuxnet don't mix.
Iran did it
Coney Island 'completely under water'. Not at all accessible.
Coney Island hospital reported on fire. Engine crew refusing the call. Cannot access.
Not good.
Bush's fault.
Relax, ZH. Don't join the hyperventilating crowd, please. This was not an explosion. This was nothing but a huge electrical arc, probably when the salt water caused a short circuit in the high voltage lines. Spectacular, yes. Disturbing, no. Short circuit, yes. Explosion, no.
After the power station's fuse blew as it should, there wasn't even fire left. It will however certainly require some serious work to get the power plant working again.
Yep. High voltage line going boom.
It was an arc blast.
Arc blasts are explosions especially on a high voltage transformer located at the power plant.
When copper instantaneously goes molten at a few 10k degrees you can be sure its an explosion, don't kid yourself.
Jeezus - more hype and BS. It's an arc blast. It can happen with backyard generators. But no - this is Sandy - the most overyhyped weather event in US history. Therefore a run-of-the-mill arc blast = a nuclear explosion. Armaggedon is just round the corner!
This ain't no "backyard generator".... and the lead time to replace those transformers can be many months...... can you say "rolling brown outs" this winter??????
Butch - how can this be "over-hyped" ..the photos of a swimming pool previously known as Ground Zero, the flooding tube, rivers in the financial destrict and other NY streets
there comes a time when too much Valium is bad for you mate
Looked like maybe a substation transformer popping off... or as above - arcing HV lines. Surely didn't see an explosion...
The new Romney campaign ad... hilarious.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0u8l9noLFE
And Romney is joking about rising sea levels in his closet right now.
I hear salt water is good for electronics.
If your name is John Connor, get the fuck outta Dodge....
Later tonight the 25 foot waves on lake Michigan should wipe out the Chicago exchange HFT computers.
Then we will see what volume is really like.
I'm on Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, I can tell you the leaves on the tree's are barely quivering in the wind at the moment. Its going to take a major change to get those wave heights to 25 feet, although I am very interested in seeing this if it does happen.
obama bin laden, oops i mean osama is still alive blowing shit up.
Does this mean there will be no more high frequency trading?!?!?! Don't the servers need to be right net to the power station? Or maybe it was the servers exploding. I think that much more credible.
Come to think of it. I doubt that this was a power station blowing at all. This has Gozer the Gozerian's fingerprints all over it. I bet those stupid bast&^ds crossed the beams:

One of them little VP's from Goldman'll be dragging a portable Honda generator down to the Exchange just to be the First One Up and Running Behind the Sand Bags
False Flag terror attack!
Martial Law!
Habeus Corpus suspended!
Gun shops and liquor stores closed!
All prices frozen!
Summary executions!
Obama declares self president-for-life!
I get a hangnail! FUCK!
Ooops.
Did they forget to turn that one off or was it the main pipeline to Bloomberg's residence?
This is bullish for stocks.
You might want to reconsider your handle unless, of course, you referring to the local PTA...
or Biker Club
Um... Sarah in tight tattered jeans, red soled high heels.... Glommed on the back of a Harley.... Slapping the club VP and enforcer around...
Could be a big series on Cable....
Wasn't it already???
Reconstruction...
NOW we start the infrastructure repairs... (finally)...
Yeah. I blame Bernanke and his insane money-printing policies.
Wait ... isn't that the basement of the New York Fed? Or is this Ghostbusters III?
BOOM BOOM Out Go the Lights!
It was an Iranian drone that took it out...didn't you guys see it!?!?
The substation address is actually 13th street, with most of the circuit breakers on the roof. Been there dozens of times calling on ConEd. To get an idea of the size/scale of the substation, look at street view:

This was actually an explosion from a collision between a South American cocaine submarine and a Russian nuclear submarine.
Both were delivering WMD's.
What you are seeing is simply the result of an unholy union between Ben Bernanke and Christine Lagarde, move along, nothing to see here.

Tales from New York.
July 13, 1977 coming back from Aqueduct Raceway and the lights went out all over Manhattan.
My dad was driving and going nuts because he was controlling the Mayflower Hotel on 15 Central Park West and a few other properties for John Avalon.
Traffic was backed up for miles; my dad hit the sidewalk to drive over the bridge back to the island.
We pulled up in front of the hotel, my dad hopped out of the car and told the doorman to lock the doors and break out the shotguns.
Ernie a bellhop, who was claustrophobic, was stuck in an elevator on the first floor hollering.
I escorted my new bride up 17 flights to our room with a lighter.
Next day the Diamond District was hit hard, wrecking trucks ripping bars off store windows for a free lunch.
I took my wife for a long walk down to show her my old hangouts in the Village, Washington Square Park, Little Italy, China Town.
She puked in China town cause all the rot from the fridges being off in the fish market and being pregnant, she was soon hungry.
We had lunch at Umberto’s clam house, the local Don was curious with all the Yous and Yas of our Minnesota speech asked where we were from and bought us a bottle of wine after our story.
We picked up a cab to 151 W 57th where I used to work as a doorman, stopped off at FAO Schwarz and Tiffanies.
My wife was feeling faint on the walk back to the hotel, someone tried to snatch her purse.
I saw him coming up us and wacked him with my umbrella twice over the head before he could blink an eye.
He dropped to the ground, rolled and started running away.
My heart was in my mouth.
It was not raining.
Magically deliscious
so in spite of Sandy they propose we guarantee loans for offshore windmills.
This is a CIA inside job okey?
It's a bomb went off!!
Reading the trivial bullshit in the comments, I have to wonder, has this site been taken over by the distraction bots of the United States?
I mean, really, come on you stupid fuckers. I know you're mostly Americans, but even Americans aren't this trivial and banal, are they? Has the nation been reduced to this absolute level of stupidity and superficiality? It's like I'm reading a blog of 10 year of fucks
Really, you assholes deserve what is coming. Sink or swim you little shits, and I hope most of you sink. We need to clean out the gene and stupidity pool both.
Hope you feel better soon...
(You ever hear of 'Gallows Humour..'??)
Shocking
Dupe...
Anyone in a 47-storey steel-framed building should be very, very worried at this point.
KRUGMAN! You magnificient bastard! Did anyone else see him running before the bomb blast? (hehe)
Interesting that the lights all around stayed on....
