essay 1{The four horseman of the apocalypse War, famine,pestilence server crash


                On August 5 2003 the city of New York The city that never sleeps stop cold. On that day a blackout affect most of the tri-state area; the blackout left most of us without power for 24hours. Basically that meant No TV, No Lights no computers and No cell phone {well unless you had a version phone} but for the most of that day the people of New York where cut off from the outside world.  On that day I was heading out to union square. Half way to the subway station I just realized that I had forgotten my headphone.  So I rush back to my apartment to retrieve them when I got inside I turn on the lights; they flick on for moment and then turn off. At first I thought that light bulb in my room had blown out and I had replaced the bulb.  However when I replace the bulb it still wouldn’t turn on; I thought that fuse had blown in the building. So when outside to look to the superintended to find out what was going on; when I got back outside I saw that the traffic lights were out too. A person came out of the building and told me that he heard on the radio that whole city was blackout.
