Verizon's WTC Operations Destroyed 
By Adam Creed, Newsbytes, 9/12/2001

Verizon Communications [NYSE:VZ] late Tuesday detailed the extent of
damage to its New York telecommunications operations following the
devastation that hit the city. 
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&amp;T also had telecom equipment housed in one of the World Trade Center
buildings. Both AT&amp;T and Sprint reported massive congestion on land and
wireless networks into New York.
