Re: AT&T Switch operational in basement of WTC

Here is AT&T's official media statement. While technically correct, omits some information. FOR RELEASE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 Media Advisory On AT&T Network AT&T reports there is no damage to its long distance network as a result of today’s emergency situation in New York City and Washington D.C. However, as a result of the emergency situation, there is higher than normal calling volume into the affected areas. To ensure ample network capacity for emergency calls in the affected areas, AT&T recommends that customers not call New York City or Washington D.C.
