Horrible world trade center crash, traffic effect
by Avi Freedman 13 Sep '01

13 Sep '01

I know this is Sean's job, but - FYI, 2 planes crashed into the world trade center. Sounds like on purpose. Not to be ghoulish, but the traffic impact is looking to be fairly large on the 'net (and on the PSTN in the NYC area). FYI, Avi

I have a report from my upstream that 25 Broadway NYC has lost building generator power completely after a cooling failure and UPSes are expected to run out shortly. This is going to get exciting... -george william herbert gherbert(a)retro.com

I'm impressed. From all of the reports, the appearance is that they've managed to empty most of the building in less than 10 minutes. |> From: John Fraizer [mailto:nanog@Overkill.EnterZone.Net] |> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 11:06 AM |> |> According to my sources inside Sun, everyone from their |> offices got out |> OK.

Furthermore, unless someone TELLS >Center they're being hijacked, there's no way for a controller - looking at >a blip - to know what's up. And any controller can tell you that pilots do Somehow the people who did this managed to turn off the transponders on these planes. Normally a plane flying in controlled airspace squawks a unique id and altitude which is decoded by their radar and associated with each blip. Sometimes low cost homebuilts/ultralights fly with no transponder, but Boeings <sarcasm>usually</sarcasm> do. If you set a transponder to 7500, it means you're being hijacked. BTW if you see your friend Jack at the airport, be sure to say, "What's up, Jack!" instead of "Hi Jack!" So how do you deal with this? Blowing up a whole country? I wonder if the US should adopt a 'fire w/ fire' approach and invest in intelligence, covert ops and assassinations. It would seem that it is open season on terrorism by every democratic nation, I expect to see very conspicuous Samuel Jackson style ass whoopins on whiny extremist groups to satiate America's anger. Terrorize the terrorists. Oh yeah, obviously Echelon should probably have MacOS loaded on it. -b

60 Hudson Update
by Greg Pendergrass 13 Sep '01

13 Sep '01

60 Hudson is safe and the power is on. There is no danger of it collapsing although I think that has been said already. All the the Verizon phone lines are out, but cellphone service is good in and around the building. Some circuits are down but remarkably most are up. They aren't letting people get there from uptown just yet but hopefully they will in the next couple of days. Anything south of Chambers St is likely going to be out for some time. I had to hike out of 61 Broadway (3 blocks south of the WTC) through it all and I can't see utilities restored for several days more as there is choking dust everywhere, debris, and untold gas leaks and other hazards. Many of the buildings around the WTC may be unstable after the collapse and must be inspected for safety before utility workers can go into the area. Some may have to be taken down before work can proceed (I hope not!). 1 Liberty plaza is still up but who knows for how long? All the area telco providers must have taken significant losses in personnel and equipment so it's going to take them time to organize their repairs. My building's management company is going to notify me as soon as we can at least enter and retrieve equipment, and I'll pass that update along to the list. If I can get in at 61 Broadway then probably people will be able to get into 25 Broad St and the adjoining buildings. My hopes and prayers for everyone who has lost or is searching for their friends and loved ones. Greg

(Either way(if they knew, or not) >expect changes, and more money for them.) Unfair. I've heard lots and lots of people screaming "intelligence failure" and "why didn't we know about this?". It's actually pretty damn simple - bin Laden (or whomever) wasn't talking about his plans on his cell phone. Like...duh. One cannot intercept communications that don't take place. Wanna defeat the NSA? Write your message on a piece of paper and mail it. All the gurus ascribe the attack to intelligent, capable, well-trained terrorists - why should we think they'd be stupid enough to talk in the clear about their plans? It's not like NSA's comm intercept capabilities are a dark secret. If you don't have people sitting in the inner circles (and terrorist leaders tend to be very clannish folks - if you ain't family, you ain't in) and the bad guys aren't blabbing all into their telephones - how can you learn about their plans?
