7/30/03- Loss of a Major Telecommunications Hub Could Cripple Internet!

The impact of a network disruption would depend on a variety of factors, such as the cities affected by the disruption. The most severe impacts would occur if telecommunications equipment were destroyed in the six largest Internet hubs: Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Dallas and Washington, DC. A loss of a MAJOR Internet hub occured with the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in New York city. ONE major TELECOMMUNICATIONS hub was located at Ground Zero, and the loss of that hub disconnected three New York counties from the state of New York's computer system. In addition, several major Internet services and e-business providers were left without service for two days. External link to Ohio State University Research Archives.
