Our switch in New York has seen a complete loss of trunking to the WTC CO. Earlier in the day individual T1s were down in a spotty manner between us and that CO (peppered across the OC48), but now even the SONET ring has dropped. The CO was either in that building or adjacent to it I am told by our techs in NYC. We are now seeing overload on other trunks to the Verizon tandems. -vb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Drassinower" <scottd@cloud9.net> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 4:23 PM Subject: Verizon COs affected by WTC damage?
Verizon has/had a CO (NYCMNYST) in the South Tower of the Trade Center. I would guess this is now destroyed. Does anyone know where exactly in the tower or complex the CO was? They also had sales/administrative offices there on a couple of floors there.
Covad is reporting that the West Street CO, near the WTC (NYCMNYWS, 140 West Street) currently has services affected due to a fire in the building. Has anyone else heard about a fire there?
