network status web sites. Either they haven't updated their web site,
or they haven't experienced any affects from the train derailment.

Because the train derailment involves potentially hazardous materials,
no provider has an estimated time to repair. Telecom repair crews will
be allowed into the tunnel after the fire department and HAZMAT teams
complete their work.
