Fiber Cut - Pittsburgh, PA

AT&T Local Services (what used to be TCG) had a fiber cut shortly after
midnight outside of their Allegheny Center switch site - multiple OC48s
taken out.  The damage was repaired by 5:00AM.  The likelihood of impact
to the big providers was fairly small, but I figured it would be of
interest to operators in the Pittsburgh / western Pennsylvania area.

We saw a few customer circuits drop, but no interior network impact.
