New York skyline turned a bizarre blue on Thursday night after an explosion at a Con Edison plant - causing panic and confusion for millions across the city. Bewildered residents took to the streets and shared images on social media after the haze filled the sky at around 9.20pm for three minutes after the blast at the substation in Astoria, Queens. Power was cut at many addresses across the area including the nearby La Guardia airport, which was forced to ground all flights for more than an hour during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year. Officials at the notorious Rikers Island jail were also forced to use backup generators when their electricity shut off for 25 minutes and there were delays on the subway. There were no injuries in the blast, the fire was quickly contained, and many saw the lighter side of the mystifying incident.
