25 Broadway is on generator. Supposedly they have 48 hours of fuel. I haven't heard about 60 Hudson or 111 8th Ave.
like they are gonna let a diesel tanker just pull into town to top everyone up.
From my experience during Hurricane Andrew, it doesn't matter if you have "priority" service contracts for diesel delivery. Hospitals get first call on any diesel. ISPs aren't even on the list.

I spoke to someone based at 25 Broadway, shortly after they went on generator power. They reckoned they had about 24 hours of runtime. Speaking to them again this morning (UK time), they reckon they are burning diesel slower than expected, so runtime may be longer.

CNN has reported that a whole substation located near the WTC has been destroyed, and that the only source of AC will be generators brought in today. I'd say that given people are still using cellphones from inside the rubble of WTC, that the telco infrastructure that will get first priority will be cell basestations, and not isp's... --- Terence C.
