World Trade Center attack

Tue Sep 11 18:06:06 UTC 2001

Teleport Communications Group, which was acquired by ATT Local Network Services, 
has/had its Main NY City node in the sixth sub-basement of No. 1 WTC. Almost all 
of this [with the exception of some of the private, proprietary builds (escon, 
gbe) for some financial customers] is/was SONETized and self-healing and/or a-b 
mirrored in 60 Hudson and other large nodes in NY and NJ.
