Also not to get sensationalist, but less expensive than a life that could be lost if an emergency call can't be put through?
The alarm that goes off saying the lid got opened is only 2 minutes before the big red alarm that says you just lost 5 OC-768s. So the link is *still* going to drop even as you're on the 911 call to try to explain to them where your manhole is, the cops *still* won't catch anybody (the perps may be gone before you hang up on the 911 call), and you're taking 2 minutes off a 10-hour outage. A lot of expense for not a lot of improvement.
