it is wonderful to see no looting in NY. I was just a kid during the 77 blackout but I remember seeing news of massive looting. It really gave me an upbeat feeling this am to see how this was handled by the people and police. For the most part, traffic actually ran smoothly. New Yorkers took it upon themselves to be traffic cops, standing in the street and assisting motorists on streets with no signals. And once the initial worries of terrorism were wiped away, most people took things in stride. "We're just here for fun and we're just going to fry outside," chuckled Aaron Owens, of Newark, Delaware, who was in New York on vacation with his wife. "Everybody looks very calm, and now people are just sitting around watching people." cnn.com Ottawa got some looting though: Police: 'Serious looting' in Ottawa cnn.com
