Vic Fangio was the defensive coordinator of the 49ers of San Francisco when the team played the Baltimore Ravens at Superdome in the Super Bowl XLVII.
The Ravens dominated the 49ers for the team’s second title of the team, but the game was spoiled by a power failure due to a partial power outage that hit the stadium. The Super Bowl was paused for 34 minutes. The 49ers made a 17-0 race to take over the match. In the end, the Ravens retained their opponents for the 34-31 victory.

“I thought it was a terrorist attack,” he said.

The Ravens secondary, Ray Lewis, was upset by the situation, while the CEO of 49ers, Jed York, joked that he was the one who “pulled”.
