2) Why didn't an alarm go off that someone had entered the area? It was after business hours, presumably not in response to a trouble ticket, and as such a highly suspicious action. Does it make sense for these access portals to have some sort of alarm? I mean there is fiber running through and as such it could carry the signaling. Would this be a massive cost addition during construction?
I can comment on this, I live three blocks from the scene of the cut.The manholes themselves sit along railroad tracks and an overpass. At 2am, it's a very dark area, and there is very little traffic at that time. It would be an ideal area to perform this type of vandalism.
On a side note, when I was passing the area this morning at around 10am PDT, there were two fiber-trailers working in two separate manholes.
My company (AS4307) fell off the map from about 2am until roughly 10:42pm when one of our upstreams (AS20115) finally came back. Our primary (AS174) came back about 11:30pm. Of course during the majority of the outage, we also had no land-lines or cell-phones, so were effectively isolated.
