I hope they have a better disaster preparedness plan nowadays.

The FCC makes TV and radio be ready in case of emergency. No such requirement for internet. - con_carne Sep 14, 07:51
In fact, 9/11 is probably where they first figured that out. CNN crashed hard until they put up the minimal site. -- nm - Ender Sep 14, 07:49 1
- yep, I agree. I figure they have much better plans now. - ty97 Sep 14, 07:51
