A little more Pentagon detail
by Howard C. Berkowitz 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

I'm seeing more damage now to the Pentagon, but, if you don't know the construction of the Pentagon, it may be misleading. The building is really five concentric buildings (E ring to innermost A ring) separated by small courtyards and a larger one in the middle. You can see interior structure of at least one side of the five sides of the pentagon forming the outermost ring, near the heliport, but as far as I can tell, the inner wall of the E ring hasn't gone down. The other side of the building looks fine.

RE: World Trade Center attack
by Kavi, Prabhu 11 Sep '01

I assume you are talking about the phone system. Not that this is any consolation to you, but the phone system is setup to operate this way during a disaster. When a disaster strikes an area, the phone systems are setup to allow mostly dial-out, rather than dial-in. The reason is that the people in the disaster area who are ok can call family outside the disaster area and get the word out. The family members who receive the call can then inform others outside the disaster area. Otherwise what naturally happens is that a flood of calls come in which ties up all the phone lines. People in the NYC/DC area cannot call out, and then all communications effectively stops. Having explained it, I understand it still doesn't make it better for you. Hope you hear from them soon.

One of my clients has Allied Riser as their ISP and has heard rumors that the company is going out of business. I haven't seen any articles to this effect. Anyone know anything about this?
