[outages] [EXTERNAL] Re: Explosion in Nashville

[Matt Hoppes]

I find this very interesting as well

“ The Federal Aviation Administration said an air traffic control tower at the Nashville International Airport lost phone and internet capabilities around 1 p.m. because of a phone line outage. 
 
The outage resulted in
the Memphis Air Traffic Control Center, which handles high-altitude traffic out
of Nashville, to stop air traffic in and around the airport beginning at 2 p.m.
local time. ”


ATC doesn’t have redundant systems in place?
