Some ISPs managed to get FEMA to let a tanker through and that's how we're back up. It wasn't pretty though. Marshall Eubanks: I remember that after 9/11 the real network hits started about 3 days later, when the diesel generators started running out of fuel in the downtown telco hotels, and

For those that don't know, directNIC as well as some other NOCs are located together in a high-rise in New Orleans. Despite everyone's warnings (including my own!) some tough-as-nails guys from directNIC stayed behind to battle the hurricane and keep the networks online. [snip] While the safety
