Actually, no....
The MIDnet OKC pop did not go down w/ the Murrah building bombing.
1 or 2 customers went down that were physically proximitous to the
blast, however. The LEC/RBOC FR network stayed up too...
Still, the point is well taken that un-meshed networks can not stand
significant damage from unforeseen natural/unnatural diasters.
Meshing the network doesn't guarantee much, but gives you a chance
of diminishing the harm.
