between nations? i guess i'll bin these excerpts of my favorites... (no one mentioned the classic siberian pipeline explosion yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_pipeline_sabotage ) --- ... [massive sillicon valley] Phone and Internet outage that has left thousands of customers in the San Jose, Calif., area without phone or broadband Internet service was caused by vandals who had cut fiber-optic cables. Police told the newspaper that four AT&T fiber-optic cables were severed shortly before 1:30 a.m. PDT along Monterey Highway north of Blossom Hill Road in South San Jose. A cable in San Carlos, Calif., owned by Sprint Nextel was also cut about two hours later, Crystal Davis, a Sprint spokeswoman confirmed. Davis said that a manhole cover had been lifted, and the fiber underground had been cut. She confirmed that the Sprint fiber that was cut also appeared to be the work of vandals. --- KANSAS CITY, Missouri - Vandals cut fiber from a pole Tuesday night, cutting Time Warner Cable service to business and residential customers for about 12 hours. Time Warner spokesman Matt Derrick says the vandals hit several locations between 8:30 and 9 p.m. Tuesday. --- BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) A fiber optic cable failure that disrupted telephone service to more than 60,000 customers was caused by at least one of the lines being severed. "We conducted a preliminary investigation and it's been determined that someone cut this cable intentionally," Qwest spokesman Michael Dunne said Thursday. ... The Wednesday morning failure most affected Qwest customers in Bellingham, with scattered outages reported by Verizon customers elsewhere in Whatcom County before service was restored about five hours later. A system of cables along the Interstate 5 corridor links Bellingham's long-distance lines to a switch in Seattle. During the outage, "the vast majority of Qwest customers in Bellingham could not call outside their local calling area," Dunne said. "They could call their neighbors, but they could not call Seattle, for example, or 911." Police officers were asked to report for duty and police vehicles were stationed at major intersections. Firefighters across the county were asked to relay emergency needs to county dispatchers. There were at least two calls to dispatch that originated from citizens going to fire halls for help, county emergency officials told The Bellingham Herald. Service in the rest of the county was intermittent, said Melissa Barran, spokesperson for Verizon, which provides much of the phone service in the county outside of Bellingham. Cellular phone service was disrupted throughout Whatcom County and in the San Juan Islands, said Georgia Taylor, a Verizon Wireless spokesperson. Fiber optic phone lines in Snohomish County were severed for unexplained reasons twice in two days in September 2001. Those outages, limited to Whatcom County, caused phone blackouts that underscored the vulnerability of the county's 911 dispatch system. When asked whether the latest outage was related to the disruption two years earlier, Jim Powers, an FBI agent in Bellingham, replied, "That is of the utmost concern to us." _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
