Hacksaw + Fiber: “Vandalism” in Arizona Shut Down Internet, Cellphone, Telephone Service Across State

February 28th, 2015

Via: Washington Free Beacon:

Cellphone, Internet, and telephone services across half of Arizona went dark on Wednesday after vandals sliced a sensitive fiber optic cable, according to those familiar with the situation. The incident is raising concerns about the safety of U.S. infrastructure.

The outage shut down critical services across large parts of the state, preventing individuals from using their phones, bank and ATM cards, and the Internet. Critical services, such as police and state government databases, as well as banks and hospitals, also were affected as a result of the vandalism.

    Dry run for the cyber event across the US / NATO countries that will cover the mass round-up of dissidents and the bunkering down of the elites. Days afterwards, the nukes fly.

    Kevin,
    Didn’t you write an essay or paper or something on the vulnerability of the fibre optic system?
