The widespread power failure leaves thousands in Boston in the dark

A widespread power failure in Boston had thousands of customers on Wednesday afternoon, including a medical center, traffic signals, some city schools and police districts. From 3:45 p.m., an Eversource card showed more than 27,000 failures that extended through Boston from the Columbia Point area near the JFK library, all over Dorchester and in Back Bay. The failure also affected the traffic lights, and some intersections had police officers who led drivers. At 4:30 p.m. Eversource said that all customers were online again. A spokesman for the Boston Medical Center said the center was briefly affected by the failure. “Backup current supply systems have been activated immediately and patient care was not influenced. The power supply was restored and the hospital has normal operations,” said BMC in an explanation. Eversource said it worked as quickly and safely as possible to restore the power supply, which was caused by a power failure in one of our substations on the Andrews Square “. The substation serves the areas of South Boston and the South End. The police in Boston said that the failure had influenced the districts in districts B2, D11 and C4. Boston Fire said that all of its fire houses are equipped with backup generators and have retained the cover in the whole city. The Boston Public School said that some of his buildings had lost power. The helplins of the district and its transport hotline were affected. Massport said that Logan Airport was not affected. The MBTA also reported no failures in connection with failures. Video: Planning failure deletes the performance in Boston,
