All the recent cuts were littoral, near shore or shallow water. Which is the historical pattern, by far. Cables do go bad and are damaged in the dark depths of the abysmal plains, but by and large damage is near shore, due to people or shallow water related natural effects (waves, underwater landslides, etc). -george william herbert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
