Terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. have severely impacted Internet and telephone traffic on the East Coast. Two hijacked commercial aircraft that crashed into the World Trade Center collapsed both 110-story towers and destroyed equipment many telecom carriers rely on to carry communications from Manhattan. In a statement, Verizon said it typically has 488 employees working on lower floors of the north tower. "The company has accounted for most of these employees," the statement read. Verizon said two facilities that were destroyed when the building collapsed usually handle calls to and from the World Trade Center building. The company evacuated 1,737 employees from its operations center nearby at 140 West Street before the twin towers collapsed. Verizon said at least 10 more wireless network cell sites in New York were knocked out of service when their connection facilities in the skyscraper were destroyed. Verizon employees have erected temporary mobile-phone cell sites in southern Manhattan that will be switched on when authorities give the go-ahead. The carrier said its cellular and fixed-line traffic nationwide doubled from normal peak volumes in the hours that followed the attack. Verizon reported severe congestion on its cellular network, with concerned callers to New York and Washington experiencing busy signals. "Wherever possible the company is re-routing call traffic," the company said Tuesday night. "In Manhattan, the company has asked long-distance carriers to work with it in routing traffic." Verizon is among many telecom companies hit by the New York disaster. AT&T also had telecom equipment housed in one of the World Trade Center buildings. Both AT&T and Sprint reported massive congestion on land and wireless networks into New York. Verizon is online at http://www.verizon.com .
