Even up here, Telco's went into a state of high security and building lock downs. I remember getting a call saying I was to put our network and Central Office into Status Orange. I literally had to go dust of 20 year old manuals to see what the heck that meant. "Go dust off" can be taken very literally as no one in the four provinces we served could remember ever going to that code level.
My sympathies to the families of lost loved ones and a salute to the heroes who dealt with the tragedy at all levels of aftermath.
