1965 Blackout

Life Magazine ~ Bob Gomel

50 years ago at 5:27 pm on Tuesday, November 9, the lights went out across several states, affecting more than 30 million people.



I was seven years old when the lights went out that night, swimming in the Westport YMCA's indoor pool to earn my Minnow Club badge. I worried that my mother couldn't come to pick me up. She did and we ate dinner by candlelight.
