Batteries the Focus of AT&T Investigation

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the and-going-and-going-and-going dept.

An anonymous reader writes "AT&T is focusing on the batteries supplied by Avestor as the cause of its 2006 equipment explosion in a suburban Houston neighborhood. The carrier says it has 17,000 of those same batteries still in its network. Some photos of the equipment that was shredded in the blast are also available."

    The biggest electrical terrorist may be the common squirrel. Rodents and their ilk have growing molars that require constant grinding or they self destruct! In addition to their gnawing they also store prodigious amounts of material in small spaces setting up fire hazards and preventing ventilation. If Bush is serious on his war on terror he should target Rocky Bin Ladin Squirrel.
