You mean, like drop a couple of trade towers and take out three class five switches, causing communication outages throughout New England and New Jersey, and affecting places as far away as Chicago?
3 class-5s?
I thought it was a 5E and a 4E.
I may have it wrong. My source is a talk given along with renesys-030502-NRC-911.pdf to a NAE committee writing http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=0309087023. The author told us that there were two class five switches in one of the towers and one in a neighboring building; the neighboring building was damaged by debris from the tower.
I heard the 4E stayed online *past* 1400, talking to its fiber neighbors...
