The buildings of Manhattan's financial district are dark during the blackout of July 13, 1977 in this file photo taken from under the Brooklyn Bridge. One building at left is lit with emergency power and a stream of light comes from the headlights of moving vehicles on the FDR Drive and the bridge. Friday, July 13, 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of the blackout, which lasted 25 hours and was marked by looting and chaos. (AP Photo/Ray Stubblebine, File)
