The best part of that picture is that VTNZ. Presumably the car failed its WOF.

By the looks of it though only a few users had a connection. And at least the cabinet wasn't one that distributed by microducts. Imagine it when those get bowled! 200 and something microducts to rejoin!

Saw this and immediately checked my outage notifications from Chorus... Apparently this was resolved at 1am today, so only a 7 hour 10 minute outage.

They work quick!!

Criminally liable, I'd say.  You can't tell me that was an accident with a straight face.
