Yep, seems like I've read of even some military systems, where they insisted on redundant cabling, going down due to a single failure. I sorta remember reading about one case where they had two independent service providers, but both of them ran their fiber optic cables over the same bridge. And the bridge got washed out or knocked out. Or they had two independent service providers but the cabling to get to the providers from the military building ran through the same conduit for some distance, and that was the conduit that got cut.
