From Navipath

Status update from Navipath (a large outsourced-dial provider). Avi Return-Path: <jlapolit(a)drama.navipath.com> Subject: Re: World Trade Center attack To: Avi Freedman <freedman(a)freedman.net> Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 22:07:50 -0400 (EDT) CC: Joe Lapolito <jlapolit(a)navipath.com> Avi can you post this to nanog for me, my post access is gone: We have started to lose equipment at 32 Old Slip. The site is not currently off the air, but it is getting hot and several boxes have shut off due to heat. The site is currently (and understandably) unmanned, so we cannot get a status on the site from GNAPS our provider. We are a dial provider and have started to see a drastic reduction in inbound calls. It's unclear what is causing this at this point. -Joe

The DoD Dictionary (http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/new_pubs/jp1_02.pdf) doesn't explicitly state the order, but does imply it progresses from 5 to 1. Army Regulation 2510 (http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:99rWu1xnDgQ:www.usapa.army.mil/pdffile…) implies that the restrictions on information transfer during an emergency increase as the DEFCON level decreases from 5 to 1, implying that 1 is the highest state of operational readiness, not the lowest. Further, most every reference available, military and non-military, recognizes DEFCON 5 as the state of lowest operational readiness. Were I so inclined to search further, I'm sure I could dig up a definitive military or governmental document that explicitly states the rank ordering of defense readiness conditions. However, I think the evidence above suffices. -- Mark C. Langston mark(a)bitshift.org Systems & Network Admin http://www.bitshift.org

Explosions in Kabul, Afghanistan
by Gordon Ewasiuk 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

CNN (TV) is reporting several explosions in Kabul. At least one fire is visible via videophone. One talking head says they might be result of the ongoing civil war there, another says they might be a U.S. response.

EAS system placed on standby
by Sean Donelan 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

FEMA requested the primary emergency alert broadcast stations be prepared to in case primary communications media fail. I assume this is just a standard precaution FEMA has built into their emergency response plan. Interestingly enough, no one was available at the FCC to confirm if broadcast stations can suspend the RWT and RMT transmissions (foundly known as "duck farts") as part of the scheduled tests. > GREETINGS; > > THE NATION FACES A GRAVE CRISIS. > > PRIMARY ENTRY POINT STATIONS FOR THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM SHOULD PREPARE > TO MAN THE SHELTERS AT THE TRANSMITTER SITES FOR THE DURATION OF THE > NATIONAL CRISIS. > > MAKE ANY AND ALL PREPARATIONS TO ACTIVATE THE PEP IF REQUIRED.
