Hello;
To be honest, I did not see any BGP or other routing effects from the
NYC fire (there were problems on Abilene this weekend, but they were due to
a bad router update). My data are presented on
http://www.multicasttech.com/status
and are fairly coarse-grained, having a 6 hour update cycle.
The 9/11 problems actually came starting on 9/13 and 14 when the battery /
generator power started running out at 25 Broadway. My understanding is that
the biggest problem was the inability to access the facility to refuel.
My (multicast-centric) analysis of the 9/11 response was presented at
Nanog 23 :

You should also look at the other two presentations on 9/11 and the Internet
at that meeting :
