[Outages-discussion] [EXTERNAL] Re: [outages] Multi-state 911 outages reported Weds night

[Christopher Conley]

Without any other information, a single encounter with the North American Fiber-Seeking Backhoe installing a single light fixture shouldn’t cause 911 service to hard fail in multiple states.

If that’s true, the series of events and decisions leading up to it border on gross incompetence/negligence.

Well apparently, regardless of what Lumen has to say, it was not unrelated to them, since it took down their services in at least three states. If Lumen is the commonality here, that might have been some core functionality that was also related to the outages in other states not mentioned in that news piece.

In any event, I'm sure somebody is going to be having a chat with their boss.

Sounds like at least Nevada is back up?

Nevada is part of it, too. The LvPD was telling people to call from cell phones if they need help because they'll call right back because they can see the number but they can't answer the phone.
