911 outages in several states caused
by company installing a light pole

Quote
Several states experienced 911 call outages Wednesday evening, which emergency
call system service provider Lumen said were caused by a light pole installation done
by a third party.

A Lumen spokesperson said Thursday in a statement to ABC News, "Some customers
in Nevada, South Dakota, and Nebraska experienced an outage due to a third-party
company installing a light pole -- unrelated to our services."

"We restored all services in approximately two and a half hours," Lumen said. "Our techs
identified the issue and worked hard to fix it as quickly as possible. We apologize for the
inconvenience and appreciate our customers' patience and understanding."

As an IT guy, my first reaction is   :wtf:

No backup system?  No redundancy?  No cross-connectivity with other systems?

Don't outsource your safety and survival.  YOU are your first responder.

Only part time.  Can't quite work up the nerve to sever ties with this Liberal paradise.

We lost 911 calls at the same time.
The article did not mention Hawaii.

The evidence suggests they think we are almost all (D) party sheeple. 

Even the ones who know better can't seem to shake off their allegiance to the party.
