We’re still several months out from the release of Avengers: Endgame, but some New Yorkers were convinced that Thanos had returned earlier than expected on Thursday night when their power flickered and the sky suddenly began flashing a bright blue color. Predictably, the actual explanation was less exciting, as the Con Edison energy company confirmed that the light show was the result of an electrical fire at a substation in Astoria, Queens.
“There was a brief electrical fire at our substation on 20th Avenue & 32nd Street in Astoria this evening, which caused a transmission dip in the area,” Con Edison explained in a tweet shortly after 11 PM ET on Thursday night. “All power lines serving the area are in service and the system is stable.”
