NEW YORK (Reuters) - The 29-hour blackout that hit New York City on Thursday cost its economy about $1.05 billion or $36 million per hour, city officials said on Monday.

New York City officials believe the loss occurred because city officials couldn’t see where they were putting the money when the lights went out. "It was so dark and we couldnt see anything," said one city commissioner who did not wish to be identified. All city employees have been ordered to look under their couches and to go to the last place they saw the money in an attempt to find the missing funds.
