I’m not blaming anyone for anything. I’m saying buildings were set on fire.

And yes we know that internet was shut by the government, but we had a day of burning overhead optical fiber that serves as the backbone for many peoples home internet connections.

My team of network engineers was brought in by some companies to try and reroute and stabilize the country’s infrastructure before the full shut down.

And when the internet is turned back on, there are the unlucky ones such as us who have to debug the remaining issues and asses the damage of a burnt central node that all ISPs connect through.
