Internet2 Taken Out by Stray Cigarette

Posted by samzenpus on from the only-you-can-stop-internet-fires dept.

AlHunt writes "A fire started by a homeless man knocked out service between Boston and New York on the experimental Internet2 network Tuesday night. Authorities say the fire, which also disrupted service on the Red Line subway, started around 8:20 p.m. when a homeless man tossed a lit cigarette. The cigarette landed on a mattress, which ignited and led to a two-alarm fire."

    If it isn't safe and secure, then you've done more to help it so in ways only sustained combat can absolve. Take all you can! Give nothing back!
