One year since Nashville Christmas Day bombing (Dec 25, 2020)
https://wpln.org/post/the-christmas-day-bombing-cut-off-emergency-communications-across-tennessee-heres-whats-changed-since/ It’s been nearly a year since an RV exploded outside an AT data center in downtown Nashville. Damage from the blast resulted in major disruptions to phone and internet service for days, including to 911 call centers — more than 60 in Tennessee. Both the state and AT have been working to prevent similar outages in the future. [...] “I’m not trying to get up here and be an apologist for AT by any means, whatsoever,” he told the board in May, a few months before the contract was approved. “But they did do a very good job answering our questions.”

Re: Nashville
I wouldn't say bad design, I would say outdated design. How do you take a single fiber optic cable or a copper cable bundle going to a business/building or a house and terminate it at 2 different Central Offices? It inherently has a single points of failure. (why I added extra straps to my fiber outside at home because stupid wind blows the damn cable around that goes to the pole, I'm in NJ everything on poles here) I don't think a bomb going off was part of the redundancy design process when telephone central offices were first starting to be built. I heard the rumour is (perhaps fact) the generators were keeping everything up till about 12-1 PM eastern when they shut the gas supply off to the neighborhood earlier safety. Once the batteries drained, that was it. Family I have in Nashville were on the phone when it cut out and then everything went dark. I do think they could have done a better job with the wireless infra. No reason you can't have some cell sites that can feed to a different central office. The fact is, distributed systems could work better, many smaller switching and distribution buildings scattered about a metro area with redundant links. A mesh. That was the single point of failure is just the link from your house to the next hop. Obviously not feasible with copper pairs. - Javier On Thu, Jan 14, 2021 at 10:05 AM Hiers, David wrote: > No doubt they’re good, but the best support can’t overcome bad design. > > > > > > > > *From:* NANOG *On Behalf Of > *Robert DeVita > *Sent:* Tuesday, December 29, 2020 5:17 PM > *To:* Eric Kuhnke ; Sean Donelan > *Cc:* NANOG > *Subject:* Re: Nashville > > > > AT Disaster Recovery Team is probably the best in the business.

One router remains out of service and the other is in service with some links remaining out of service. The working bridge will reconvene at 08:00 CT with the following action plan: Additional cabling added to the first portable generator to enable full load capabilities (08:00 CT) Pigtails with camlocks installed for easy swap; investigate possibility to land generator on the emergency service board to give the site N+1 with a manual ability to choose anyone.

TDM Switching team will reconvene at 09:00 CT and the Signaling team will reconvene at 11:00 CT on 12/27/2020. DMS equipment on the 1st floor will be assessed for water damage. Switching teams will monitor power and HVAC restoration and will begin switch restoration as soon as the go ahead is provided by the power team. Recovery Priorities: 1. 4th & 5th floors (Specify transport equipment needed to clear MTSO SS7 isolation & Datakit needed for Local Switch restoration). Transport SMEs currently working to turn up transport equipment 2. 6th floor (ESINET Groomers) 3. 10th and 8th floors (N4E) - Trunks 4. 1st floor (DMS: DS1, 5E: DS3) - Local POTS 5. 1st floor (DMS: DS0, DS2 | 5E: DS6) - Trunks 6. 11th floor (DMS: 01T) - Trunks 7. 4th floor (STP and SCP with mates up in Donelson) The next update will be issued at approximately 09:00 CT on December 27. Nv2 As of 09:00 CT: Teams worked through the night to restore service and improve conditions at the Nashville 2nd Ave Central Office. Since the initial service impact, over 75% of the Out of Service Mobility Sites have been restored. Certain call flows may be limited and should improve as additional restoration activities complete. The generator that is currently powering equipment on the 2nd and 3rd floor, was refueled and ran with no issues through the night. Overnight, the batteries connected to it, continued to charge. Teams have placed additional power cables, which once connected, will allow the working generator, to better handle the load in the building. In order to accomplish this, the generator will need to be shut down for 15-30 minutes this morning, so teams can connect the new cables to the system. The power team reports they are still on target to restore power and cooling to the 5th and 6th floor by approximately 12:00 CT. Also, a portable chiller will be delivered this morning and strategically placed, in case it is needed to assist in cooling the office. There is a Call Center at 333 Commerce, in Nashville that does not have network or phone services available. Corporate Real Estate (CRE) reports there is some damage to that office, but the extent of the damage will not be known until they can gain access to the site. Because of this, the impacted Call Center ceased operations until further notice. DMS switching equipment on the 1st floor will be assessed for water damage. Switching teams will monitor power and HVAC restoration. Equipment power ups will begin, as soon as the go ahead is provided by the power team. Two SatCOLTs remain positioned on the East and West sides of the NSVLTNMT Central Office providing critical communication for teams working restoration efforts. There are 17 assets

Is there a video of this? I would also love to see pictures of what the damage was inside the building and repairs. Not sure if that was documented anywhere.

A bunch of quotes from former government officials. Not much from industry. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/nashville-bombing-is-a-potent-reminder-that-communications-systems-remain-at-risk-from-attack/2020/12/28/d734b76c-4949-11eb-839a-cf4ba7b7c48c_story.html Nashville bombing is a potent reminder that communications systems remain at risk from attack [...] Experts applauded the telecommunications giant for responding quickly to the explosion by deploying portable cellular sites to help restore some service. But they were alarmed by the widespread nature of the outages, both in terms of geography as well as the variety of services affected. Key to constructing systems that can withstand attacks and natural disasters — and recover quickly — is avoiding a single point of failure, they said. [...]
Re: Nashville
AT statement says nearly all services have been restore in Nashville as of Monday, 5pm CST They are working on permanent repairs. https://about.att.com/pages/disaster_relief/nashville.html AT's Network Disaster Recovery group faces management questions nearly every year to justifying their budget. While no one wants disasters, business continuity has to be part of the business. There are also mutual aid agreements between companies, but I don't know how many were invoked for this incident. https://about.att.com/ecms/dam/pages/disaster_relief/NDR_edited_04.22.19.pdf

Re: Nashville
Additional AT statement (5 pm CST) https://about.att.com/pages/disaster_relief/nashville.html We’re putting the full-force of our disaster recovery efforts into responding to this morning’s explosion in Nashville, including bringing in regional resources and our National Disaster Recovery teams. Power is essential to restoring wireless and wireline communications and we are working with law enforcement to get access to our equipment and make needed repairs. Given the damage to our facility it will take time to restore service. We have already rerouted significant traffic from this facility and are bringing in other equipment, including numerous portable cell sites to the area. There are serious logistical challenges to working in a disaster area and we will make measurable progress in the hours and days ahead. We're grateful for the work of law enforcement as they investigate this event while enabling us to restore service for our customers. We'll continue to provide updates here as our recovery progresses.

Re: Nashville
I think the outage is a bit more widespread than "Nashville and surrounding areas." Most (all?) of Kentucky is without AT cellular service right now. I can't say for sure of how many of AT's residential internet customers are affected, but reports on Twitter indicate it's a pretty significant chunk. I have AT ASE/metro services here in Kentucky that do not appear to be affected at this time.

Re: Nashville
AT statement regarding the intentional explosion in Nashville TN "Service for some customers in Nashville and the surrounding areas may be affected by damage to our facilities from the explosion this morning. We are in contact with law enforcement and working as quickly and safely as possible to restore service." From local news reporting: A widespread internet outage was reported in Nashville hours after a massive explosion downtown. AT internet and phone service was disrupted in the area about 12 p.m. Friday. A handful of local police departments reported the outage was disrupting 911 access, including some non-emergency lines, in their jurisdictions.

Admittedly just bored on a slow Christmas Day when my wife is at work (nurse) and kid is playing with a new tablet and I’m just watching the news trying to understand/figure out a little what and why.
