Yes, there was a significant blackout in New York City on July 13-14, 1977, not 1968. The blackout lasted for about 25 hours and resulted in widespread looting and arson. The event was attributed to a combination of severe weather and equipment failures, which led to a collapse in the electrical grid. While 1968 did not have a massive blackout, the 1977 event is often remembered for its social impact.
