"During last night&amp;#039;s Super Bowl, it wasn&amp;#039;t the score boards or excellent play that had viewers abuzz-it was the shocking third quarter power outage, which netted history&amp;#039;s fourth-most Tweets per minute at 231,500. Some blame Beyonc\u00E9&amp;#039;s electrifying half-time performance, while others blame 49ers fans who were nervous about the Ravens&amp;#039; 22-point lead. Whatever the cause, nearly half the lights in the 73,000-seat stadium suddenly blacked out 90 seconds into the third quarter. With the blackout halting play so soon after Beyonc\u00E9&amp;#039;s performance, the Internet flooded with cheeky tweets, such as, &amp;quot;Just plug a generator into Beyonce&amp;#039;s hips. Problem solved.&amp;quot; Another Twitter highlight from the 34-minute-long outage was an advertisement from Nabisco&amp;#039;s Oreo cookie that read &amp;quot;You can still dunk in the dark.&amp;quot; Yet despite all the online humor, both the NFL and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome were scrambling for a solution, as the game&amp;#039;s momentum faded with each passing minute. One explanation from USA Today: A fire alarm went off in the press box in the upper level of the stadium. Spokesman for Entergy New Orleans, Philip Allison, told the Associated Press that the blackout was most likely the result of improperly maintained equipment at the venue. It may not have been Sasha Fierce who caused the outage, but someone at the Superdome was definitely to blame. The game finally resumed at 8:10 P.M., after which the 49ers scored three times in just four minutes. The Ravens&amp;#039; energy seemed to be dwindling, as it looked like the game was turning around for the opposition. Tensions were high for fans nationwide until the very end of the fourth quarter when Baltimore&amp;#039;s beloved birds pulled out a 34-31 victory. Even though Ravens fans will think fondly of Super Bowl XLVII for their hard-earned win, Twitter will forever remember Sunday&amp;#039;s game for the Beyonc\u00E9 Blackout. What do you think caused last night&amp;#039;s outage? Comment below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
