Ah, that old-age problem of designing redundancy to cover one failure, but
not two.

I've been told that there are 2 issues. One was fiber cut, I believe in
the Houston area. The second issue was a card failure, also in the
Houston area. Both failures contributed to a loss on a backbone ring
that covers a portion of the Midwest. The master ticket number is
2332102 for those who want updates.
