Investigation Underway Into Cause Of NYC Blackout

Con Edison says it could take weeks to find out the cause of a massive power outage in New York City that left more than 70-thousand customers in the dark on Saturday. The utility had crews out on Sunday investigating, but there has been no word on a possible cause at this point. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said it was not the result of an act of terrorism, excessive electrical use or a cyber attack.
