Sounds like cover for security issue. But since it affects only B6, and not others, I am probably wrong.

Yeah, that is problem. They doesn't usually work too well. They have to fixed the computer system. Because it was Hurricane Sandy. That's why what exactly happened the electricity is shutting it down.

I think you may be right. Because it's flooded in Queens and that's why the electricity is shut off. When the power is back on. It will take a while. Be more patiently.
