800 service affected?
by Roy 12 Sep '01

12 Sep '01

According to Genuity: "In response to today's tragic events, the Federal Communications Commission has shut down all non-critical 1-800 numbers around the country." I haven't seen any sign of this.

we've been compiling as many WTC pics as we can.. Lots of places we got them from were getting killed, so we mirrored them for faster access. http://wtc.nac.net We, in Parsippany, NJ (about 30 miles due west of WTC) were able to see the smoke plums from our roof: http://wtc.nac.net/www.liquid-dynamics.net/pics/WTC/Roof%2520of%2520NAC/MVC… Some operation content: We've lost 32 Old Slip; 25 B'way is running on generator, and they say they have at least 50 - 70 hours of fuel left. *all* circuits we have from 25 B'way to 111 8th, 60 Hudson, and many other buildings are still up. Many circuits which pass on MFN fiber are still OK. 32 Old Slip appears to be power related. So much for generators. Distance of 25 B'Way to 2 WTC: http://www.mapquest.com/cgi-bin/mqtrip?link=btwn%2Ftwn-ddir_na_basic_main&u… According to Mapquest, 700 meters by road. -- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, alex(a)nac.net, latency, Al Reuben -- -- Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net --

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.
