I may have it wrong. My source is a talk given along with =
renesys-030502-NRC-911.pdf to a NAE committee writing =
http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=3D0309087023. The author told us =
that there were two class five switches in one of the towers and one in =
a neighboring building; the neighboring building was damaged by debris =
from the tower.
