Seems almost too good to be true... Does anyone know any more about this?

AT&T's switch in the basement apparently operated after the collapse until
4PM.
They expect to recover the switch hardware....

Hmmmm...

So if you can build a switch room that doesn't collapse when 2 x 110 story
buildings fall on it, why not get those engineers to design the building so
it doesn't collapse in the first place?

Gotta love the 5E...

Oh, please...

An hour or so of 1200-1500+ degrees?

On another list someone posted:

"I'm being told by friends that this story is false--it's been circulating,
but once real live AT&T people were consulted, they said their equipment
failed due to flooding shortly after the collapse. The press may be
shortcutting on story confirmations..."
