From Eric Dondero:
At 8:40 pm est. the lights went out at the Super Bowl stopping the game between the 49ers and Ravens.
MyFox8 out of Greensboro, NC reports:
The scoreboard and lights went out with 13:22 left in the third quarter. The Ravens lead the 49ers 28-6.
The cause has not been determined.
During the CBS broadcast, players could be seen laying on the field and stretching to stay loose in anticipation of a possible lengthy delay.
No cause has been given. But given Al Qaeda's history of striking on big dates, could this be an act of Islamic terrorism?
Adam Clark Estes at
AtlanticWire.com remarked, "Why Did the Lights Go Out at the Super Bowl?":
As players sat down to stretch and officials jogged into a huddle to figure out what to do next, there wasn't a terrible amount of information about what caused outage. Surely, the possibility of a terrorist attack crossed some people's mind, though that was quickly ruled out.
UPDATE!
Various news reports, police smell gas at stadium.

Am I the only one who thinks "power outage at Super Bowl" = terrorism? Why no discussion of possibility on broadcast?

Could have been a commercial for NBC's show called Revolution.
The peaceful community organizers are probably looting the place.
Could have been the Turkish Communist Brigade.
Or it could have been a power outage.
Could have been Ray Nagin or Fats Domino.
Could have been rogue Occupy Wall Street activists?
Or a blown breaker.
Or a mystical act of the Almighty.
I guess if we can't explain it, magic works.
Or mystical spirits from the hunting grounds of the great beyond where the Great White Buffalo roams.
I don't believe in magic.
Nor do I. Or spirits either.come to think of it.
"Do you believe in magic?" A crappy pop song from the 1970s. The Orleans I believe. Or, maybe Loving Spoonful.
