AT&T doesn't mark their exchanges for exactly this reason...
They have envisioned being a target for decades. Maybe the bomber just didn't know what they were doing? I was in NYC when the van full of explosives blew up in the WTC and basically just made a hole into the subway tunnel below. Had the bombers known where to park it, it could have done MUCH more damage.
- aaron-santos 6y agoNot disagreeing, but want to add that while AT&T may not mark their exchanges, their exchanges aren't exactly hard to spot. There are several characteristics which identify them easily. Anyone who's had one or two pointed out to them could find similar exchange in thousands of other cities.
- mech422 6y agoTrue...but that supposes the bomber is more competent then they seemed to be... McVeigh caused a lot more damage with presumably a lot less explosive (van vs. RV) Thank god they got the timer right, and hopefully everyone got out.
