Black Out

During the super bowl on Sunday there was a 34 min black out that some thought was caused by the big half time show.  Others thought it had something to do with New Orleans power.  But in actuality what happened was caused by the safety features in the power machines, they sensed a problem and opened another rut for the power and caused the black out, shortly after the backup generators kicked in.

I think that it could have been done better.

  • I think everyone made a really big deal out of it when it wasn't that big of a deal. Although, I do think it changed the game. I don't think the 49ers would have done as well as they did if they wouldn't have had that break to take a deep breath and create something better.

  • When the lights went out it was a good way for the 49ers to come back and almost acctually win the super bowl. I hope its not in new orleans anymore.

  • After the blackout the game did take a turn. I think that it was way more in conveinent for the players and coaches than it was for us. We were at home eating and talking with friends while they sat on the field stretching and walking around for a good 45 minutes. I agree with everyone that they should have been more prepared. But when is anyone going to guess that the power would go out in the super dome.

  • I was watching that, and I wasn't sure what to think. Some people thought it was a conspiracy, which of course, what doesn't have one of those? I feel bad for the players because they were wandering around looking lost. That was a really close game, and I would guess without the power outage, the game would never have been that close!

  • The NFL should of prepared better for this. They should always be on top of this better and they will get it right next time.

  • I think they should have had this planned out better. They should have been prepared for anything to happen. It must have been very embarrassing for them when this happened.

  • I thought this was kind of funny when it happen! Thank goodness they had generators.

  • I think Beyonce caused it because her singing was awful. But that is my thoughts and you people may have different opinions.

  • I think they probably tried their hardest to get the power back on. They dont want delays just as much as we dont. i am sure they worked their hardest to get the power back on
