61 years ago tonight, on Tuesday, November 9, 1965, at about 5:16 PM, the lights went out across the Northeast.
More than 30 million people in New York, New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ontario were suddenly sitting in the dark, right at rush hour. People were stuck in subways and elevators, neighbors lit candles and passed around flashlights, and families gathered around transistor radios to find out what had happened. In New York City, some of the power was not fully back until early the next morning.
Were you one of the millions who sat in the dark that night, or do you remember your parents telling the story?

Nov. 9, 1966 - Tonight on “Batman,” Gotham City faces a chilling new threat as Mr. Freeze returns with a plot to freeze the metropolis solid and turn public opinion against the Dynamic Duo. Guest starring film director Otto Preminger (left with Dee Hartford) as Mr. Freeze, the episode introduces a revamped take on the ice-cold villain. To smear Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward), Freeze disguises his henchmen as the Caped Crusaders to commit high-profile robberies around town. Freeze then crashes a Gotham social gathering hosted by Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, robbing the guests and freezing them in a poolside trap. Meanwhile, Freeze targets Miss Iceland (Dee Hartford, right) at a local beauty pageant, kidnapping her in hopes of lowering her body temperature to make her his bride. The episode builds to a icy cliffhanger with Batman and Robin facing a frost-bitten fate. 7:30 p.m. on ABC. In color.
