I just received this from one of the CLECs we use in NYC:
"It seems that a Verizon Building in NYC has collapsed amid the wake of
problems surrounding the WTC. As of right now the damage is not fully
assessed, please bear with us and Verizon at this time, there is not much
many can do amid this crisis."
I hope all their people and the firefighters made it out ok.
