Actually, most of the data center was working just fine. Advanced Telcom Group was up and running (probably on battery), and MCI/Worldcom stayed up as well. We have a T3 going through that building to Worldcom, and it stayed up all night. A couple of the smaller ISPs were off the air all night, though. Power was indeed off to the entire building, and ATGs generator was involved in the explosion, so kudos to ATG and Worldcom for having enough batteries to last the night. > After being informed that my website was unreachable from > a few people, I verified that I couldn't query the DNS > servers for it.
