Fire Knocks Out Power in Boston

Boston was plunged into darkness Tuesday after a three-alarm fire that started burning in a 115,000-volt transformer sent black clouds into the sky. To stop the blaze, officials had to cut power for thousands of residents. The fire department, and Twitter users, immediately posted pictures of the blaze. Even Mitt Romney’s son Tagg got in on the action, tweeting, “I'm in Boston. No power. Police announcing to evacuate due to hazardous smoke. But no transit, no taxis, no lights. Crazy.”
