"Grand Central Terminal experienced a brief blackout on Thursday night that left some MTA workers trapped in an elevator and thousands of others left to navigate the cavernous halls with the glow of their cellphones.

Power went down throughout the upper and lower portions of the iconic midtown Manhattan terminal at roughly 8:28 p.m. on Thursday until 9:17 p.m., according to the MTA."
