    A time lapse video has revealed the moment Manhattan was
    plunged into darkness as Hurricane Sandy barrelled through New York
    on Monday night.

    Captured from the Northside Piers Towers in Williamsburg,
    Brooklyn, the video condenses two days of the superstorm's massive strike on the nation's biggest city into just two minutes.



    The south-pointing camera begins filming in the early hours of
    Monday morning and captures the neon-dotted Lower
    Manhattan as it awakes - and as howling winds begin to rattle through.



    Scroll down for video



    The unmistakable skyline of New York the night
    before Hurricane Sandy hit is shown at the opening of the timelapse video

    The video shows clouds gathering above the city as the hurricane
    comes in land

    When the day begins, grey clouds wash over the city and leave the camera flecked with raindrops.


    As night draws in, the city becomes illuminated once more, as apartment blocks, high
    rises and the Williamsburg Bridge turn on their lights for
    the evening.

    Yet just moments later, around 8.40pm on Monday, the lights suddenly
    snap off. The city that never sleeps becomes cloaked in darkness, with only faint car lights seen flickering around
    the city's perimeter.

    The time lapse video ends yet the darkness has not,
    as tens of thousands of New Yorkers now face a third night without power.



    The usually-bustling streets of Soho, the Financial District, the East and West villages have remained eerily empty and quiet since the
    power went off, turning the popular night spots into ghost towns.


    Some of the outages were sparked by an explosion at a Consolidated Edison plant on 14th
    Street after it became overwhelmed by floodwater,
    while others were due to water damage in homes and businesses.

    The company had also pre-emptively taken two underground electrical networks
    out of service, which have been the first to be restored.


    On Thursday, ConEd assured that power would be returned on either Friday or Saturday to the remaining 227,000
    homes and businesses that went dark in Manhattan on Monday.


    Throughout the week, the company has only been able to
    restore power to 2,000 people in lower Manhattan, just a sliver of those affected.


    And the discomfort of no power will continue for homes in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, where ConEd
    does not expect to complete repairs for another week.


    The time lapse video also shows the stark divide between power outages across Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Around 59,000 homes were left
    in the dark in Brooklyn, yet homes in Williamsburg, which
    can be seen in the footage, were largely unaffected,
    despite being just across the bridge.

    The video, created by SMvideoChan, was uploaded to
    YouTube, where it has already viewed more than 1.2 million times.

    The video shows New York lit up just seconds before power was cut and the city was plunged
    into darkness
