“This is Steve Tasker, SUPER BOWL 47. If you expect our friend Jim Nantz, this may be a moment before he takes over.”
When a sound Super Ball Xlvii between San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravers suddenly cut early in the third quarter on February 3, 2013, millions who watched CBS may suspect that something is wrong.
When Tasker, who was appointed to work on the sidelines of 49ers, was the first voice of anyone, to be confirmed. There was no strength in the broadcasting booth, elevators and moving stairs stop and so did the game – for 34 minutes.
“Half of the power in the New Orleans Stadium, The Supermome here, has come out,” Tasker declared to the world.
For some of the Ravers players, the stopping was suspicious. Jacobi Jones had returned to the beginning of the second half, 108 yards to the landing space, and Baltimore was driving 28-6, and Ravenas had sacked the title of 49ers Colin Capernik in second place. the Super Ball He was about to be a defeat and then the lights came out? And the smell of the back Ray Lewis smells of mice.
“You cannot tell me that someone was not sitting there, and when they say,“ The crows are (about to be). A man, it is better to do something. He said In an interview with “America’s game” for the American Football Association’s films later that year. “This is a major transformation in any game, seriously.”
The actual interpretation was more worldly. A newly installed device called deportation automatically cuts the power to the field when Ampirage reaches a certain level because the factory settings were very low.
Entergy, Electric Local, which will not happen on Sunday when Super Bowl returns to New Orleans for the first time in 12 years. The company has no longer used the equipment responsible for blackout, there is a better repetition of the electrical flow and the stadium has hosted more than a decade of games and parties of the saints in New Orleans since then.

From Super Bowls to “Michael Jordan” to “No MAS”, SuperDome saw everything
These concerts included, greatly, Beyonce, which preceded her presentation at the end of the first half in 2013, Taylor Swift, who brought 200,000 fans to SuperDome for three nights in October.
“Some people eventually launched the exercise,” Endi said in a statement.
While 49ers laugh at Lewis’s conspiracy theory – “We had the same delay they did,” said Joe Stalli off – there is no doubt that they benefited from re -appointment.
In the end of the first half, they entered their cabinet room to fix everything that happened in the first half, and soon the tactical changes they made. Then they had no place to go.
The end of the first half of the Super Bowl Fies is a regular version of the season and because there were a lot of gradual equipment, the players were unable to reach the field. Instead, they were destroyed in the cabinet room.
The 49ers notes that ravins have been disposed of a penalty kick against the Bruce Miller in Rick-Authorn Jons’s Rickdown to start the third quarter. But there was also a feeling that the end of the first half had an effect.
“I remember that the coach (Jim) Harbou goes out and asks,” Are we prepared? “The 49ers coach remembers at the time, Mark Uyama.” And I go, “Oh – clearly (Jones) was.”
Then the 49th team operated two plays-29 yards pass to Michael Crabter and 3 yards run by Frank Gore-before Arthur Jones Capronic spent. After this play, Color Chepator Phil Simms was in the middle of the sentence when the broadcast was silent at 7:37 pm local time.

attacks? The shooter? These ideas are flashing through everyone’s mind. The shooting on Sandy Hook occurred a month and a half ago, 49ers was on hand in a game in New England where the victims were remembered.
“The first thing that my head went through is a terrorist act,” said Greg Roman, coordinator of the attack at the time. “And what will come after that? First, they cut power. Now what? My whole family is there.”
“I frankly believed that it was a terrorist attack at first,” said Wink Martinel, then Raven’s coach. “You just don’t know. Immediately, you are looking for the place where your family is sitting and everything else to make sure everyone is fine.”
A few moments later, those ideas were dispersed. There were preliminary ears of the crowd, but there was no dismay or noise. SuperDome was calm.
“It is thanks to that, everyone remained calm,” Tasker said in an interview on the phone.
“Why does the watch stop?”

He said that the first task of each person is to know what happened and the period in which the game will be late. The side correspondents stopped using a wireless microphones six years ago during Rainy Super Bowl XLI because these microphones have come out. Tasker had a cable connected to a microphone in New Orleans that extend only as much as the numbers in the field. The league officials who wanted to meet with them were safely equipped in the midfield and did not want an interview with the camera. So he toured the midfield, got as much information as possible, then approached Jim Harbo on his way back to the margin.
Tasker said: “He wanted to know what they told me.”
49ers had an advantage that they had a similar thing in the previous year when an adapter exploded outside the Candlestick Park, causing a late match during the “Monday night” match against Pittsburgh Sters. Uyeyama said that he reminded the players how much they dealt with this wait on the margin.
“We were more willing than we were against Pittsburg,” said Ayama. “We have placed Roethlisberger on his back. So we were wandering and communicating with men,” remember, Pittsburg. “
The teams were initially said that the game would resume in about 15 minutes and that everyone should stay on the field. They heard the same abstinence – 15 minutes – when they entered later.
“Whenever it goes, you would have to restore yourself in a training position,” Martingal said. “It was like,” s – we must start stretching. “We knew that we were in trouble. I know that the analyzes say that there is no such thing as the momentum, but this bulls. I changed the lights that came out of the game momentum. We were killing them when the lights came out. And going.
“Football is a game that relies on momentum. Whenever you have such a calm, it is a good opportunity for the team that does not play well to reassemble their ranks and recover,” said 49ers Safety Donte Whitner.
He said the birth players discussed Patrick Willis and Navoro Bowman the strategy. Justin Smith, the oldest state of defense, has confirmed that everyone remains focused and calm.
“I remember that I hear Dashon Goldson clearly still saying,” Not today. Not today. We are very good. “We are very big in defense,” Wittner recalls. “And what he was referring to, let us not make the simple mistakes that would strike us.”

In the attack, Roman only made a quick visit to the cabinet room at the end of the first half. 49ers scored only two field goals at that stage and needed to reformulate the entire game plan. Roman spoke shortly to the players, then approached Harbu.
Roman said: “I just said, hey, Jim, I have to get the upper floor and get things.”
He returned to the coach’s booth before Beyonce started showing her and felt satisfied with the amendments he made.
Roman said: “Then they returned to the start of the match and the matter was as if the price of the poker had changed.” “It was like, my God. Now we are in a hole completely.”
He made more modifications after the stadium lost power. The radio headphones that bind him and the defensive coordinator in Vandio did not succeed to the side line, and in fact it was one of the last things that arrive on the Internet before resuming the game.
Roman wore plays and ideas off the coach of the receptions John Morton. 49ers will turn on the ball from time to time to keep Lewis and the Sadiq defense. Otherwise, they were attacking the air.
“We would have been very aggressive,” said Roman. “We had a lot of talent in the team, it was just a matter of time.”
He was right. 49ers resumed immediately after they resumed the game, but they scored in the Kaiernick-To-CRABTREE 31 corridor when they regained the ball. Then they registered on their next three property, as they cut off the Timore to 31-29 with less than 10 minutes to play. It was as if to obstruction had created two distinguished games.
Roman said: “It was a meeting of a path from that point forward.”
But while Ravers scored again-on the goal of Justin Taker 38 yard-the crime of 49ers stumbled in the depths of the red area in the last minutes.
San Francisco seemed to have a great snapshot touching its floors after the 33 -yarr -yard tour of the 7 yard line with 2:39 to go. However, this pregnancy left Gore-one of the best contestants in the short masters of the American Football Association-and stopped his alternative, Lamichael James, to achieve 2 gains in the first courtyard.
The Qorsbbeck goalkeeper, who was likely to achieve a decline, was eliminated when Jim Harbo called a deadline to avoid violating the playing hour. When the last three throws sailed to Crabtree at the corner of the end area at the head of the recipient, Ravns knew that they had finally stopped the momentum of San Francisco and attached to the victory.
“If we had lost that game, I would have moved away from saying,” It was because the force came out and the long delay. “We would kill them otherwise.”
“Unfortunately, it was not enough. It was a strange day in our lives,” Roman said.
Although it was the only face and the SUPER Bowl broadcast for a few unconfirmed minutes, Tasker said he did not get much attention after the game. Instead, his phone began to explode after six days when “Saturday Night Live” – with TARAN KILAM, who plays Tasker – cleared a cooling with a cold opening.
“This is when I learned that I had finally made it,” Tasker said.
