Lewis Wheelan got seriously injured trying to maintain power lines. Electricity nearly killed him, and thanks to modern medical technology, electricity was able to save him as well. Then, on August 14th 2003, in a matter of minutes, 50 million people were without power, and in some areas, it wouldn’t come back for days.

The Northeast blackout of 2003 was the biggest blackout in US history. At the end of the disaster, almost 100 people lost their lives, and for Lewis, it was just the beginning of the end. Let’s get into it!
