On July 13, 1977, New York City experienced a 25-hour blackout after lightning struck a substation along the Hudson River. This tripped two circuit breakers and set off a chain of events that resulted in a widespread power failure, crippling the city's largest generator. Sponsored by EDF Energy Services, headquartered in Houston, "77 Problems" revisits that pivotal time in New York City. In this short documentary, I recount the day that shaped my career and the energy industry. Special thanks to Ms. MaryAnne Brelinsky, former president of EDF Energy Services, Mr. Mark Ishac and the incredible team at Zpryme [77 Problems Documentary: https://lnkd.in/ekMmvqx and https://lnkd.in/gJ477dSG]. The current suffering and outages in Houston have significant adverse impacts on human life and society. As we remember the 1977 blackout, it's overdue to understand parallels and address today's challenges with resilient infrastructure and innovative energy solutions. My thoughts are with my friends, colleagues, and the people of Houston. Here is my take on post-hurricane efforts and options going forward: https://lnkd.in/gFVwJa5U.

This is a serious complication after CO poisoning, which has a long-term impact on the patient's quality of life. Nervous system damage: CO poisoning is particularly serious for the nervous system, and even mild poisoning may cause short-term neurological dysfunction.
