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? -- Scott M. Drassinower scottd@cloud9.net Cloud 9 Internet White Plains, NY +1 914 696-4000 / 800 356-5683 http://www.cloud9.net
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?

Ok, we run a small network, but since this morning, the amount of non-port-80 (CodeRed and Ilk) scans and probes and smurf attempts have gone through the roof... no-holds barred scanning (not subtle probing) from Tiawan, India and US (Cable/DSL mostly) IP's. Are other seeing it as well? --mike-- ==================---------------------------------------------------- meuon@geeklabs.com random thoughts + recycled electrons = email
Same thing here, 15 fold increase this morning (by the IDS), and we're an even smaller network. Also seeing a lot more Sircam email. Don't know if its a social issue (more stupid users are leaving their PC's on) or engineered in. Going to be another fun day ... ========================================================================== Eric Germann CCTec ekgermann@cctec.com Van Wert OH 45801 http://www.cctec.com Ph: 419 968 2640 Fax: 603 825 5893 "It is so easy to miss pretty trivial solutions to problems deemed complicated.

I just received this from one of the CLECs we use in NYC: "It seems that a Verizon Building in NYC has collapsed amid the wake of problems surrounding the WTC. As of right now the damage is not fully assessed, please bear with us and Verizon at this time, there is not much many can do amid this crisis." I hope all their people and the firefighters made it out ok. -Robert Tellurian Networks - The Ultimate Internet Connection http://www.tellurian.com | 888-TELLURIAN | 973-300-9211 "It is never too late to be what you might have been." -George Eliot

This may correlate with CNN reports of top-level execs from an nsp being killed in the WTC collapse...
