  Major power failure across Northeast
Time: 17:19 EST/22:19 GMT | News Source: MSNBC | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

A fire at a major New York power plant caused cascading blackouts throughout the Northeast, the Midwest and eastern Canada late Thursday afternoon, knocking out electricity to millions of people in New York, Toronto, Detroit, Cleveland and elsewhere.

FEDERAL POWER REGULATORS did not identify the power plant, but CNN reported that a fire had been reported at a transformer at the Consolidated Edison plant in New York City. Most of the affected cities are linked on the same regional power grid. Officials of the Homeland Security Department said there were no indications that the blackout was the work of terrorists.
