just like the good old days. On a nice summer evening, July 28th, 1995, most of Minnesota got disconnected from the rest of the Internet. And in spite of all the buzz we've heard about information warfare, hacker terrorists and the Internet "being able to survive a nuclear attack", it was bums under the bridge that did it. Transients had broken into a USWest work area under the Washington Avenue bridge and set up housekeeping. One possible reconstruction of the events: one, a sleeping drunk. Two, a runaway cigarette. Three, a burning blanket. Four, fiber-optic cables toasted to a crisp. A Minnesota Daily article suggests that the fire may have been set on purpose, since the transients had been told to move out by University Police not an hour before. here's a link - http://www.skypoint.com/members/gimonca/burnin.html

Internet2 and others in the R&E world have several 100Gs like 4 or 5 of them that are down on that path, the worst effected are the Montana entities, all their traffic going through Seattle right now. Internet2 has 3 paths across the western 2/3s of the country, with one path down and one path under serious threat in the Houston area. It's a good thing to have 3 paths. :)

Luckily the second wave heads north through Canada to get to SIX, so it is working as expected, and far away from the hurricane.
