The Astoria East and North Queens Con Edison plant experienced an electrical arc Thursday night, lighting up New York City's night sky in a beautiful blue. I guess they wanted to start the New Years festivities early.
While there were a few booms and a couple windows rattled, no one was injured. Today the city will a remain extraterrestrial alien free...or will it...Dun Dun Dun
To be honest, it is rather beautiful and mesmerizing to look at.
