Some C&W transport was lost as well. They also have a master ticket open.

No, the train derailment was yesterday. It's just they've got the route
flap damping constant set in units of days, so it's only now propogating.

LOL! The client in question with the C&W span didn't go down until 11:30 CDT. However, their circuit is tied to the C&W master ticket that defines the outage as a train derailment. Maybe we've just hit WorldCom's maintenance window (don't spaz, I'm just kidding).
